Additional text

'Parson's book is to be welcomed as a rewarding read for anyone wanting to get beyond the immediate event to the more critical, longer-term processes under-pinning it.' - British Journal of Educational Studies'... the real value of the book lies in the provision of an analysis of exclusion which focuses less on the individual and more on the structural bases of a problem which cannot be understood without reference to more wide-ranging explanations in our society.' - Isabelle Brodie, Children & Society
