This book is the first significant sociological study of Ireland’s elite private schools. From the selection process to past pupils’ union events, from the dorms to the rugby pitch, the book unravels how these schools gradually reinforce exclusionary practices and socialize their students to power and privilege.
Aline Courtois is a research associate at University College London Institute of Education, UK.
