| Description: |
Contrasting what is required of children at school with what is expected of them at home and on the street, this book provides an ethnographic analysis of educational failure in white working class neighbourhoods. It also demonstrates how social class position tends to be reproduced as a function of childhood experience. |
| Synopsis: |
Are schools failing working class children or does working class life present alternative means for gaining social status that conflict with what it means to do well at school? Focusing on Southeast London, this book provides insight into class values and reveals the complex cultural politics of white working class pride. |
