This book develops a political economy and a genealogy of school
exclusion in order to reveal exclusion to be a symptom of more
fundamental issues relating to poverty and inequality, reflected in
the role of the state in managing their consequences, particularly
regarding juvenile delinquency. It uses archival and documentary
evidence to uncover the roots of exclusionary practices in
political and economic struggles going back to the 19th century.
These conflicts have had decisive effects on key shifts in social
and educational policy from the Poor Law Reforms of 1834 to the
emergence of the welfare state and the current neoliberal
reconstitution of society according to the model of the market. In
arguing that competing views of an equitable and just society
underlie exclusion, the analysis opens up a space for envisaging
radical new approaches and practices for dealing with children in
trouble.
This book challenges the practice of exclusion by uncovering its
roots in 19th century social and educational policy targeting poor
children. Revealing a hidden history of exclusion, this analysis
exposes the connections between the state, the education system and
social policy, and opens a space for radical alternatives.
