Inhalt:
"This book explores the structures of power and politics within a government-aided school situated in a Muslim-majority area in Delhi, India. It provides a look into how teachers, administrators and students in low-income and disadvantaged communities navigate limited opportunities and resources. The book discusses the socio-economic and cultural background of students, institutional rituals and practices and the impact of power relations on the students. It critiques the power and privilege of those in positions of authority in the school and showcases how bureaucratic systems in state run schools often do not consider the circumstances and interests of students and often hinder their growth. This book will be of interest to students of education, sociology, development studies, political science and social work. It will also be useful to educationalists, sociologists, political scientists, NGOs and those interested in the interface of state, society and education"--
