Sociology of education
The African Educational Field
Antoine Nguidjol
Capital, habitus and economic interests at the heart of African education systems.
About this book
The expansion of schooling in Africa has widened access without eliminating inequality. Through the concepts of field, capital and habitus, this book analyses family strategies, hierarchies between institutions and the economic interests operating within education. It shows how promises of emancipation coexist with mechanisms of social reproduction.
The paperback is available from the distributor. The Merisphere digital edition will be offered here once produced.
