Beschreibungen
This book provides an inclusive and incisive analysis of the experiences of working-class young people in education. While there is an established literature on education and the working class stretching back decades, comparatively there has been something of a neglect of class-based inequality – with questions of gender, ‘race’ and other forms of identity attracting significant attention. However, events including Britain's 2016 decision to leave the European Union, have thrown social class into sharp focus, both in the UK and elsewhere. Featuring leading thinkers in the sociology of education, this book examines the different ways in which young people relate to various parts of the education system, including different forms of schooling, post-compulsory and university education. They maintain that the issue of social class goes beyond the walls of specific institutions to affect young people in a variety of ways: not only in the UK, but across the globe. This book will be of greatvalue and interest to students and scholars of the sociology of education, working-class youth, and equality of opportunity.<br>

“<i>Education and working-class youth: Reshaping the educational furnace</i> is a timely and significant edited collection. It addresses one of the most persistent and protracted problems facing education today, that is, the cultural processes of advantaging and disadvantaging of different classes of students. From a range of perspectives, the contributing authors confront the ways in which schools have failed some of the most vulnerable and marginalised young people in society through a range of unfriendly and demeaning experiences. However, at the same time the book captures a sense of hope and optimism of what schooling might be. This involves a rejection of deficit thinking about young people and their backgrounds, a sophisticated analysis of class and a rethinking of the ‘culture,’ ‘pedagogy’ and ‘structure’ of schooling. This book is essential reading for policymakers, educators and community activists concerned with democracy and social justice.” (Barry Down, City of RockinghamChair in Education, Murdoch University, Australia)<p>“This book brings together leading experts in the field of education to tackle one of the most pressing political issues of our time. Insightful and careful the book will be a must read for anyone interested in class inequality and its continued importance for young working class people and their life chances.” (Tracy Shildrick, Head of Sociology, Newcastle University, UK)</p>
