Rezensionen / Stimmen

`a pioneering work in the field of education and economic development' - Southern Economist



`The author has used considerable amount(s) of quantitative and qualitative data in the study and presented numerous interesting cases as illustrations' - Indian Journal of Social Work





`The author is a keen observer and researcher as well as an efficient writer, and has produced a thorough study... the book is instructive reading' - Development and Change





`a systematic study done with precision and care... Rao's book can inspire those in the field to delve deep into the problem' - Kurukshetra





`Sudha Rao has written an excellent book, which deserves to be read by scholars in a wide range of disciplines... The analysis of land ownership, work and consumption patterns, educational policy and practice, social interaction, networks of patronage and village politics are of interest to policy makers, students of Third World development and anthropologists. The study, however, will also be of interest to historians of compulsory schooling, and more generally to those concerned with the history of childhood.... The book is an interesting, important and sophisticated contribution to the debates. I highly recommend it' - Journal of Contemporary Asia





`rarely has the case been put via such a detailed local case study' - World Development (UK)
