Education Culture and Society

Culture is an important and unique feature of any society as society is known for its distinct culture. In the present day context the notion of a common culture as the basis for social solidarity is being challenged by various groups asserting the right to educate their children according to their specific religious and cultural values. These changes in society have been variously described as a shift from industrial to post-industrial, modern to post-modern, and fordist to post-fordist. This book is designed to present well researched information on various issues concerned to the theme. The readings contained herein viz. Education and society, forms of capital; class and pedagogies; human capital and social capital; modernism and feminism; and feminism and education will prove valuable reference tool to the readers.
