Elite schools have an intriguing capacity to endure and adapt in
the face of social, cultural and political change. They help both
to reproduce power, privilege and status and also to regularly
produce them afresh. The intricacies involved, over time and place,
have attracted the abiding empirical, methodological and conceptual
interest of sociologists and historians; recently, anthropologists
and geographers have also responded to their allure. Collectively,
the focus of such studies is usually on class making and the manner
in which gender and race/ethnicity, place and mobility overlap and
are part of the mix. This edited collection is framed around the
notion of a 'new sociology of elite education', but it speaks into
this wider space of inquiry in which studies of such schools are
becoming more interdisciplinary. In so doing it brings together a
new array of conceptual and theoretical tools while also deepening
those that already exist. The contributions examine various
configurations of contemporary class making and their attendant
politics. These explorations are situated in the specificities of
geographical locales where the complex dynamics of both
national/local educational priorities and global/transnational
forces are played out. In addition to showing how these dynamics
put pressure on elite schools to redefine them, the book's diverse
international focus shines a light on new and emerging global
patterns. This book was originally published as a special issue of
British Journal of Sociology of Education.
