This is a study of patterns of racial segregation in the elite primary schools of one of the 'whitest' and wealthiest areas of South Africa, the southern suburbs of Cape Town. What keeps these elite schools 'white dominant' in a province and country that is overwhelmingly black? How do the schools administer their admissions policies such that the outcome is white-majority enrolments? Why does a post-apartheid government allow 'white dominant' schools to exist? This is the first available study on the micro-politics of primary school admissions that addresses the question of 'Who gets in, and why?' against the backdrop of South Africa's transition from apartheid to democracy. For this reason, among others, the book holds significance for international scholarship on education policy and politics while at the same time offering practical value for South African parents who struggle to get their children admitted to these elite schools."--Page 4 of cover 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Education, Primary $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Segregation in education $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Education $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Elite (Social sciences) $x Education $z South Africa. 650 0 $a School integration $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Multicultural education $z South Africa. 650 7 $a Segregation in education. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01111221 650 7 $a Education, Primary. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00903204 650 7 $a Education $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902499 650 7 $a Elite (Social sciences) $x Education $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908117 650 7 $a Multicultural education $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01028816 650 7 $a Race relations $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a School integration $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01107474 651 0 $a South Africa $x Race relations. 651 7 $a South Africa $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 700 1 $a Kriger, Samantha, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317014054.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=672A9036E9E911EBBBC9467A3DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
