Educating Street Children: Some Cross-Cultural Perspectives.
Epstein, Irving
Comparative Education, v32 n3 p289-302 Nov 1996

Highlights a major contradiction of neoliberalism--its promotion of symbolic political and social inclusion, while simultaneously relying upon coercive and exclusionary institutional practices. Contains 41 references. (Author/SV)
