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
