Reviews

This study of power as imbedded in and as shaping the structure of school education in India is invaluable; few studies take this approach. The innate radicalism of questioning power will come as a jolt to everyone interested in Indian schooling. The author has contextualised his approach in the relevant literature and in the Indian situation and then gone on to make original connections between what we observe around us and how we should deconstruct this reality. This book fleshes out many contemporary studies of Indian school education. - Prof Nita Kumar, Brown Family Professor of South Asian History at Claremont McKenna College, Claremont, CA
