Elites in Education

One of the most publicized and contested areas of education research focuses on the education of elites, and the institutional and power structures which such groups reinforce and reproduce. This new 4 volume collection, answering the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of this disputatious body of thought, brings together foundational major works and the very best cutting-edge contributions.

The sociopolitical, and cultural, implications of the provision and consumption of elite education are dizzyingly complex and controversial.  Perhaps unsurprisingly, then, one of the most publicized and contested areas of research focuses on the education of elites, and the institutional and power structures which such groups reinforce and reproduce. Now, answering the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of this disputatious body of thought, Routledge announces a new title Elites in Education which brings together in one easy-to-use ‘mini library’ foundational major works and the very best cutting-edge contributions.
