Text aus www.fis-bildung.de:This reader 'aims to establish the social study of education at the centre stage of political and sociological debate about post-industrial societies'. It attempts 'to review the trends of sociological writing on education'. The 52 contributions to the book cover a wide and extremely split up range of themes in educational sociology which hardly can be meaningfully and completely compressed into a documentary abstract or keywords. So we present here the headlines of the 6 parts into which the book has been arranged: 1) Education, culture and society (postmodernism, capital and human capital, feminism). 2) Education, the global economy, and the labour market. 3) The state and the rerstructuring of teachers' work. 4) Politics, markets and school effectiveness. 5) Knowledge, curriculum, and cultural politics. 6) Meritocracy and social exclusion.
