Edited by John Raynor and Jane Harden, this anthology assembles critical voices from across the educational and sociological spectrum, charting the challenges and contradictions inherent in schooling within the modern city — from issues of social deprivation and community fragmentation to the resilience of youth navigating landscapes of inequality.\n\nThis landmark volume argues that urban education cannot be understood in isolation from the broader social, political, and economic forces that shape city life, making it an indispensable text for educators, policymakers, and social theorists alike. The editors' careful curation of readings illustrates a rich tapestry of perspectives, grounding abstract theory in the lived realities of urban communities. A foundational work in the field, it raises questions about access, opportunity, and belonging that remain as urgent today as when they were first posed — leaving the reader to wrestle with what it truly means to educate a generation shaped by the city.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50948307157211,"sku":"2026100012490-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/2079eadf-7204-47d6-b74e-ddddd2e069d9.png?v=1793104345","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100012490-secondhand-cities-communities-and-the-young-readings-in-urban-education-volume-1","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
