@article{1359258, author = {Beach, Dennis.,}, url = {http://library.usi.edu/record/1359258}, title = {Structural Injustices in Swedish Education : Academic Selection and Educational Inequalities /}, abstract = {While Sweden is often viewed as a benchmark for equality within education, this book examines this assumption in greater depth. The author argues that Sweden's education system - even prior to the global spread of neoliberalism in education, meta-policies and privatization - was never particularly equal. Instead, what became apparent was a system that offered advantages to the upper social classes under a sheen of meritocracy and tolerable inequalities. Combining ethnographic and meta-ethnographic methodologies and analyses, the author examines the phenomenon of structural injustice in the Swedish education system both vertically and diachronically across a period of intensive transformation and reform. This revealing volume offers a mode of engagement that will be of value and interest to researchers and students of injustices within education, as well as policy makers and practitioners.}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-95405-9}, recid = {1359258}, pages = {1 online resource (346 pages)}, }
