Kalwant Bhopal is Professor of Education and Social Justice and Director of the Centre for Research in Race and Education at the University of Birmingham. She is the author of multiple books, including the highly influential White Privilege, which helped to popularise the term.
A timely and excellent book that makes clear the role racism continues to play in shaping education. A must read for teachers, school leaders, parents and politicians. We need more honest, crucial, refreshing and rigorous work like this.—Kehinde Andrews Kalwant Bhopal is one of the most important voices in contemporary critical scholarship on race inequities in education. Her carefully argued and thoroughly evidenced analyses expose the multiple strategies through which white supremacy is legitimated and extended. This passionate and compelling study offers a powerful insight into the everyday reality of education in racist Britain. This is a crucial book, of equal value for students of race inequities and those coming fresh to the questions raised by Black Lives Matter. As Bhopal shows, in terms of education policy and practice, from classroom to university, white lives matter more.—David Gillborn
