This book presents a detailed ethnographic study conducted in an
urban slum in India. It explores how a State school, as a social
and pedagogic institution, shapes the aspirations and worldviews of
children in the urban margins. The volume engages with the
children's experience of marginality and exclusion as they
negotiate the intersecting axes of caste, class, gender, and
citizenship. It further explores how their everyday school
experience is mediated by the power asymmetries between the
teachers and the community. In this process, it makes-sense of the
political dynamics between the State and its margins while
highlighting the role of schools and locating childhood in this
context. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, the book will be of
interest to researchers, students, and teachers of education
studies, sociology and politics of education, teacher education,
childhood and youth studies, and urban studies. It will also be
useful for education policymakers, and professionals in the
development sector.
