"Each chapter ends with questions and issues for reflection. The book also includes an annotated list of further reading. It is designed to encourage readers to conduct their own research. This is a useful text for practitioner, postgraduate students, researchers, academics and policy-makers in education."--Jacket.
"This text draws together a wide-ranging selection of articles on inclusion to bring clarity and lucidity to a complex subject. While the majority of texts deal with inclusive education within narrow parameters, this book aims to extend our understanding of inclusion by connecting issues of race, social disadvantage, gender and other factors. It successfully integrates rigorous theorising and sound empirical research with clear, accessible and practical guidance for professionals."
