Know about the book -
Making Spaces: Citizenship and Difference in Schools is written by T. Gordon and published by Springer. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0230287972 (ISBN 10) and 9780230287976 (ISBN 13).
This book uses an ethnographic, cross-cultural approach to study everyday life in secondary schools in London and Helsinki. Employing a metaphor of dance, it explores the relationship between the official school (correct steps), the informal school (improvised steps) and the physical school (the ballroom). Practices and processes of differentiation, marginalisation and of co-operation are explored in relation to gender and its intersections with social class and ethnicity. The concluding question 'who are the wallflowers?' is addressed through a critique of New Right politics and policies in education.
