Shaping and Denying Education-Role of Class, Caste, and Gender

If you have picked up this book, you are probably someone who believes in the life-changing power of education. Perhaps your own life has been transformed by education's benevolent light. Or you are striving to help others around you to bask in its glow. Whichever be the case, it cannot be a surprise to you that life-transformation through education is a task easier spoken about than done.

In this second offering in the series 'Sociology of Education, Amman Madan shines a spotlight on three big obstacles which deny education to some in India while shaping the kind of education which others receive - class, caste and gender. An exploration of the nuances of each culminating in their intersectionality, this short book will help you recognise the social inequalities playing out around you and their impact on the world you share with countless others. Written in a simple, clear language with highly-relatable examples, the book will not be out of place in the hands of a student or a seasoned educator.
