Description

Product Description The contribution of Western education to the creation of an African-educated elite is well documented. What is not equally well documented is the fact that African-educated elites have used their education and the schools to perpetuate their dominance by denying the poor the knowledge necessary to protect their political and economic rights and to advance in society. On the other hand, educated elites in Africa make opportunities available to their own members through selective ordering, legitimization of certain language forms and learning processes in schools, and legitimization of elite codes and experiences to the exclusion of the histories, experiences, and worldviews of the poor. This book highlights the processes by which the poor in Africa have been disenfranchised and marginalized through schools' ascriptive mechanisms, and explains why African economic development is very slow. Review ?The book provides a valiant attempt at connecting the language of critical pedagogy with an understanding of social inequality and political domination in contemporary Africa. It is an original attempt to identify socialization and cultural aspects of schooling with politicization and creation of power in Africa.?-Comparative Education Review "The book provides a valiant attempt at connecting the language of critical pedagogy with an understanding of social inequality and political domination in contemporary Africa.
