British Labour Party Policy on Educational Selection 1996-8: A Sociological Analysis.

Analyzes British Labour Party policy on educational selection in secondary schools, drawing on Mills's sociological imagination. Education selection figures prominently in distributional processes that (re)produce social relations within society. Achieving egalitarian ends is difficult while retaining consumerist spheres of influence stratified by money, status, power, and culture capital. (Contains 28 references.) (MLH)
