Based on a study of one secondary school located in a disadvantaged
community in Australia, this book provides a different perspective
on what it means to 'play the game' of schooling. Drawing on the
perspectives of teachers, parents and students, this book is a
window through which to explore the possibilities of schooling in
disadvantaged communities. The authors contend that teachers,
parents and students themselves are all involved in the game of
reproducing disadvantage in schooling, but similarly, they can play
a part in opening up opportunities for change to enhance learning
for marginalised students. Rather than only attempting to transform
students, teachers should be also be concerned to transform
schooling; to provide educational opportunities that transform the
life experiences of and open up opportunities for all young people,
especially those disadvantaged by poverty and marginalised by
difference. The book is also designed to stimulate understanding of
the work of Bourdieu as well as of a Bourdieuian approach to
research. Seeing transformative potential in his theoretical
constructs, it airs the possibility that schools can be more than
mere reproducers of society.
