Katharyne Mitchell argues that schools are spaces in which neoliberal practices are brought to bear on the lives of children. Education's narratives, actors and institutions play a pivotal role in the social and political formation of youth as workers in a capitalist economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMitchell looks at the formation of student identity and allegiance -as well as spaces of resistance. She investigates the transition to educational narratives emphasising flexibility and strategic global entrepreneurialism and examines the role of education in a broader political project of producing new generations of economically insecure but compliant workers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScrutinising the impact of an influx of new actors, practices and policies, Mitchell argues that public education is the latest institution to embrace the neoliberal logic of 'choice' - pertaining to schools, faculty, and curricula - that, if unchallenged, will lead to further incursions of the market and increased socioeconomic inequality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katharyne Mitchell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0745399878\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745399874\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pluto Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.63d","brand":"Katharyne Mitchell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48153099010303,"sku":"9780745399874","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8981ee9f-4059-4aef-9eb4-f9bd8cb6ae52.jpg?v=1770781278","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/making-workers-katharyne-mitchell-9780745399874","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
