Description

This ambitious book is the first to provide a detailed insight into the politics and practices of internal school exclusion, common in British schools. It draws on intensive ethnographic research with pupils, their teachers and parents to address broad questions around social justice, equal opportunities and institutional racism.

Reviews

"This deeply narrative-driven research evocatively writes about a classed, raced and gendered education system for those children who are considered `troublesome'. A remarkable, honestly debated ethnographic work." Chrissie Rogers, Aston University "While the analysis is conducted with scientific rigor and intellectual clarity, Gillies' style of writing is engaging and enjoyable, thus it should be warmly recommended to teachers and the wider public." - Journal of Education Policy
