OverviewA professor of education and social justice shows us how the British education system is broken - and why race matters. Why is our education system unequal? How does race play a part? Is Britain still institutionally racist? Education remains the greatest indicator of life chances in Britain. What we study, where we study, and how long for shape all aspects of our lives. Our careers, our long-term health, our wealth and security are all moulded in the classroom. But who we are ultimately matters the most. In Race and Education, Professor Kalwant Bhopal shows how race still determines who gains the best education in Britain, and who falls by the wayside. Through case studies, original research and interviews with students, teachers and academics alike, she reveals how the construction of privilege starts at a young age- with Whiteness taking some students on a gilded path from cradle to career, while many still struggle to build the futures they deserve. This book highlights how classrooms and lecture halls are at the centre of perpetuating White privilege - and how racism continues to exist in Britain. 'A timely and excellent book that makes clear the role racism continues to play in shaping education. A must read for teachers, school leaders, parents and politicians. We need more honest, crucial, refreshing and rigorous work like this.' - Kehinde Andrews Full Product DetailsAuthor: Kalwant BhopalPublisher: Penguin Books Ltd Imprint: Pelican Dimensions: Width: 14.40cm , Height: 3.60cm , Length: 21.80cm Weight: 0.400kg ISBN: 9780241537329ISBN 10: 0241537320 Pages: 288 Publication Date: 21 March 2024 Audience: General/trade , College/higher education , Professional and scholarly , General , Tertiary & Higher Education Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: To order  Stock availability from the supplier is unknown.

Table of ContentsReviewsA timely and excellent book that makes clear the role racism continues to play in shaping education. A must read for teachers, school leaders, parents and politicians. We need more honest, crucial, refreshing and rigorous work like this. Kalwant Bhopal is one of the most important voices in contemporary critical scholarship on race inequities in education. Her carefully argued and thoroughly evidenced analyses expose the multiple strategies through which white supremacy is legitimated and extended. This passionate and compelling study offers a powerful insight into the everyday reality of education in racist Britain. This is a crucial book, of equal value for students of race inequities and those coming fresh to the questions raised by Black Lives Matter. As Bhopal shows, in terms of education policy and practice, from classroom to university, white lives matter more.
