In her compelling journey with a government-aided, Muslim-majority
school of (old) Delhi, a manager discovers structures of power,
politicking, conflict and harmony. This book explores how teachers,
administrators and students of low-income and disadvantaged
communities navigate limited opportunities and resources. It
examines the socio-economic-cultural background of students,
institutional rituals and practices, and the impact of power
relations in neo-liberal contexts on the worker-children. It
uncovers the power and privilege of those in authority and
elucidates how bureaucratic systems in state-run schools tend to
overlook the interests and circumstances of students, thus
perpetuating their subalternity. Education in a “Ghetto” will
be of interest to educationalists, sociologists, historians,
political scientists, developmentalists or just about anybody
interested in the interface of state, society, and education.
