Sam Hickey and Naomi Hossain launched a new book with Oxford University Press today: The Politics of Education in Developing Countries: From Schooling to Learning. The book is case studies of the politics of education in six developing countries using a new theoretical framework, also used by Brian Levy (who contributes a chapter here) in his (edited) book on the politics of education in South Africa (The Politics of Governance of Basic Education: A Tale of Two South African Provinces). I will have more to say about Brian’s book in a week or two (I am in the middle of a review essay). According to the OUP website this book “Includes critical commentaries from leading scholars in the field”–one of those is my chapter. I could tell you what I said, but then you wouldn’t read it.
