Reviews

"One of the books virtues is the sustained attention it gives to how levels-based schooling has been complicit in, or has actively contributed to, past and present social problems. Beyond Education makes a laudable contribution to critical educational studies."Full Stop

"What sets this book apart from other more polemic volumes (and there are dozens on both sides of the political spectrum) is the clarity of Meyerhoffs writing, his use of individual narratives to make his points, and his references to similarly accessible works."CHOICE

"A thorough and provocative book with plenty to say to our movement."Against the Current
