Reviews

The research presented in this book provides an engaging and passionate contribution to the debate around issues of social mobility, inclusion and equality... useful to education policy makers and practitioners, as well as those interested in these issues and social capital theory. ARVAC bulletin This timely book makes a valuable contribution to the critical debate about social capital, while exploring its operation in schools and communities, and raising powerful considerations for policy makers. Jenny Ozga, Oxford University Department of Education It is heartening to see such careful and honest application of the notion of social capital to educational issues. This book makes important Scottish evidence available to a wider audience. Professor Tom Schuller, Director, Longview
