Culture and Mass Schooling: The Colonial Roots of Educational Inequality in Africa - Cambridge Studies in the Comparative Politics of Education
Platas, Melina R. (NYU Abu Dhabi)
Education is central to politics, economic growth, and human well-being. Yet, large gaps in levels of education persist across different groups, often for generations. Why? This book argues that culture – specifically, community norms about schooling – plays a central role in explaining the persistence of educational inequality across groups.
