Produktinformationen zu „Distinction, Exclusivity and Whiteness (PDF)“
This book offers unique insights into elite Nigerian parents' engagement with, and use of, the international secondary education market as they attempt to retain their social standing - via their children - under today's shifting global conditions.
Throughout, the book tackles two important, albeit uncomfortable questions: Why does whiteness hold the highest possible value in postcolonial societies such as Nigeria? And, more importantly, why do black people accept the hegemonic discourse that West/white is best?
Autoren-Porträt von Pere Ayling
Dr. Pere Ayling is a lecturer and researcher at the University of Suffolk. A trained sociologist, her areas of specialization include consumption, (in)equality, race, elite education and class (re)production strategies. She is particularly interested in how social class, gender and race intersect to (re)produce 'privilege' and 'inequality' in education and society in general.Having been educated in Nigeria and the UK has provided her with a broader and unique perspective on key issues in education beyond England in particular and Europe in general. As a sociologist, her areas of interest are in the sociology of education, race and disability. However, her work also explores how habitus, field and capital interact to (re)produce privilege and inequality in education and society in general. She is equally interested in understanding how and why concepts such as white and whiteness are used to construct the ideas of quality and world-class status by private schools in thetransnational education market.
