Gita Steiner-Khamsi recently reviewed the book Education, privatisation and social justice: Case studies from Africa, South Asia and South East Asia, in which I co-wrote a chapter with Iveta Silova. The full chapter can be read here. She liked the chapter, writing:

I would like to end this review with three examples of outstanding chapters that reflect on social justice.

The chapter “Ethical Dilemmas in the Education Marketplace,” written by William C. Brehm and Iveta Silova, investigates a particular form of shadow education in Cambodia: private tutoring in which teachers tutor their own students, referred to as “extra study,” “supplemental study,” or “study for hire.” The study is fascinating from a theoretical perspective because it digs into the deeper question of which structural deficiencies in the Cambodian educational system have accounted for the great attraction of “extra study.” Thus, the authors attempt to understand the conditions under which inequality and social injustice flourish.
