Maintains that the dream of Swedish educational equality is more myth than realityExamines the Swedish education system using ethnographic and meta-ethnographic data and methodologiesReveals the structural injustices at the heart of the Swedish education system

While Sweden is often viewed as a benchmark for equality within education, this book examines this assumption in greater depth. The author argues that Sweden¿s education system ¿ even prior to the global spread of neoliberalism in education, meta-policies and privatization ¿ was never particularly equal. Instead, what became apparent was a system that offered advantages to the upper social classes under a sheen of meritocracy and tolerable inequalities. Combining ethnographic and meta-ethnographic methodologies and analyses, the author examines the phenomenon of structural injustice in the Swedish education system both vertically and diachronically across a period of intensive transformation and reform. This revealing volume offers a mode of engagement that will be of value and interest to researchers and students of injustices within education, as well as policy makers and practitioners.
