"This richly empirical volume provides vivid insights into 'the other side' of China's remarkable economic and educational successes - the inequalities of access and provision experienced by children who are disadvantaged by virtue of rural location, gender or minority status. These meticulously researched studies of different aspects and dimensions of inequality in China's rapidly globalizing society show a side of China's development that merits serious attention. They also provide models for analysing educational inequality in other parts of the world. This would thus be an illuminating text for courses in comparative education, comparative sociology, and globalization studies, as well as China-related programs." - Ruth Hayhoe, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto"
