{"product_id":"9781853592508","title":"Equality and Inequality in Education Policy: A Reader","description":"\u003cp\u003eThroughout its history, education in Britain has been marked by various crucial divisions: gender and class have long been dividing factors, and since the 1960s there has been increasing awareness of the issues of disability and 'race'. This book contains a selection of articles that discuss the history and gendered nature of education policies and the impact of those policies on practice in education in Britain and elsewhere. It presents a range of views and approaches, demonstrating the complexity of the educational experience and the influence of gender, class, 'race' and culture on education. Far from being a radical and liberating experience for many pupils, education emerges for some as restraining  a means of legitimizing dominant ideologies of state and society. The articles  some well-known, others less familiar or specially commissioned  contribute to ongoing debates and afford an examination of the place of education policy in production, reproduction and transformation of the major dimensions of social inequality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Multilingual Matters Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050943299824,"sku":"9781853592508","price":95.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781853592508_p0.jpg?v=1763597392","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781853592508","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
