Abstract
In recent years sociology of education has been transformed and the state of theoretical debate invigorated by the influx of Marxist, neo-Marxist and radical theories and concepts. This book distinguishes between these theories and concepts and examines their influence. The book examines the ‘traditional’ as well as the ‘new’ sociology of education and goes on to examine attempts to develop a ‘Marxist sociology of education’.
