Cloning the Blairs: New Labour's Programme for the Re-Socialization of Working-Class Parents.
Gewirtz, Sharon
Journal of Education Policy, v16 n4 p365-78 Jul-Aug 2001
The British New Labour Party's resocialization project is based on certain desirable middle-class attributes: active consumerism, school monitoring, transmission of cultural capital at home, and possession of social capital. Problems will continue to arise, since only a limited number of schools and jobs are deemed "excellent." (Contains 44 references.) (MLH)
