Middle-class School Choice in Urban Spaces

<p><em>Middle-class School Choice in Urban Spaces</em> examines government-funded public schools from a range of perspectives and scholarship in order to examine the historical political and economic conditions of public schooling within a globalized post-welfare context. In this book Rowe argues that post-welfare policy conditions are detrimental to government-funded public schools as they engender consistent pressure in rearticulating the public school in alignment with the market produce tensions in serving the more historical conceptualizations of public schooling and are preoccupied by contemporary profit-driven concerns. </p>
