All in the mix: class, race and school choice considers how parents choose secondary schools for their children. It examines how parents talk about social categories - particularly of race, religion and class - in this process of choosing. It also explores how parents' own racialized and classed positions, as well as their experience of education can shape the way they approach choosing schools. The book argues that the ways in which parents talk about their choices shows how they are choosing the social setting of their children's education as much as the pedagogical approach or resources offered by the schools. This is often an emotional arena for parents and therefore school choice opens up a moment to explore the ways in which people imagine themselves, their children, and others in social, relational, space. Based on in-depth interviews with parents from a range of different class and racialised backgrounds in three defined areas in and around Manchester, the book is able to explore how discussions about school choice are shaped by the places in which the choices are made. Understanding school choice thus involves considering the class and racialised backgrounds of the families as well as the localised context in which those choices are made. The book engages with the literature around school choice and education and explores how they deal with social categories of race and class. It makes an important contribution to racialized as well as classed understanding of school choice which will be of interest to scholars and students.
