Title: Schooling and difference in Africa
Description: "Schooling and Difference in Africa aims to understand how differences such as ethnicity, class, gender, language, religion, and disability play out in African school systems, and more specifically in Ghana. In this study, George J. Sefa Dei, Alireza Asgharzadeh, Sharon Eblaghie Bahador, and Riyad Ahmed Shahjahan analyse educational inclusion in the context of African schooling. The aspects of diversity explored in this study include minority/majority relations, race, ethnicity, gender, language, class, religion, and physical (dis)ability. The authors build their analysis around a series of interviews, which offer a perspective that policy-makers and administrators rarely seek out. By studying the challenges of inclusive education in Ghana and, further, by making comparisons with the Canadian context, this volume seeks to shed light on the ongoing struggle to create empowering school systems in Africa and elsewhere." --Book Jacket.
