In the discussion of these challenges, however, the issue of diversity has received relatively little attention. Schooling and Difference in Africa aims to understand how differences such as ethnicity, class, gender, language, religion, and disability play out in African schools systems, and more specifically in Ghana. Together, George J. Sefa Dei, Alireza Asgharzadeh, Sharon Eblaghie Bahador, and Riyad Ahmed Shahjahan promote ?educational inclusion? in the context of African schooling. The aspects of diversity explored in this study include: minority / majority relations, race, ethnicity, gender, language, class, religion, and physical (dis)ability. The authors build their analyses of these issues around a series of interviews, which project a perspective that policy makers and administrators rarely seek out. By studying the challenges of inclusive education in Ghana and, further, by making comparisons with the Canadian context, this volume seeks to shed light on the ongoing struggle for an empowering school system in Africa and elsewhere. 606 $aEducational anthropology$zGhana 606 $aDiscrimination in education$zGhana 606 $aMinorities$xEducation$zGhana 606 $aEducation$zAfrica 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEducational anthropology 615 0$aDiscrimination in education 615 0$aMinorities$xEducation 615 0$aEducation 676 $a306.43/09667 700 $aAsgharzadeh$b Alireza, $0953118 702 $aDei$b George J.
