Popis: Distinction, Exclusivity and Whiteness critically examines how a group of Elite Nigerian parents who had completed their primary/secondary schooling in the 1960s and 1970s in Nigeria when education was still for the ‘lucky’ few are attempting to reproduce their social and economic positions via their children. In this chapter, I put forward four main benefits for studying Nigerian elites and explained how studying up is integral to our understanding of how inequality is perpetuated through differential access to good quality education.
