Dear Andrew, Leandro, Veronika, Ivo, Claudia, Professor Laura M. Rival and Peter,

Thank you very much for your suggestions. I should have been slightly more specific in my question in that ideally I’m looking for “recently” published (in the past ten years), affordable, book-length ethnographies in English language. The purpose is for an undergraduate course on “comparative cultures in transformation” based on two ethnographies from different world regions.

I am particularly interested in Bret Gustafson’s “New Languages of the State” (2009). Aurolyn Luykx’s “The Citizen Factory” (1999) also looks really interesting. I’m going to investigate these two further – hoping to read them both anyway!

Thanks again for this help.

Best wishes,

Stuart

>> There are many ethnographies of schooling, older and newer, and written with different research questions in mind. It's a bit hard to know what to suggest without knowing a bit more about what you are looking for. I guess most of us are more aware of monographs produced from dissertations (or other research) than PhD dissertations themselves; also, I wonder whether by 'comparative' you mean 'comparing two schools' or 'comparing schools in two countries'. But anyway, here are some suggestions.
>> 
>> Japan and China are two places about which several educational ethnographies have been written. In the case of China, for example, there is Mette Halskov Hansen's excellent recent book 'Educating the Chinese Individual', about one high school (she also wrote an earlier book on schooling and ethnic identity in China, which I haven't read), and Andrew Kipnis's book 'Governing Educational Desire', which includes analysis of what happens in schools but also looks at policy and families. (And there are others.) In the case of book-length studies on Japan, there is Thomas Rohlen's well-known book, 'Japan's High Schools' (1983) and Gerald LeTendre's more recent 'Learning to Be Adolescent' about junior high schools; I will also take the liberty of mentioning my own books, 'Primary School in Japan' and 'Schooling Selves'. 
>> 
>> Some other ethnographies of schooling in different countries include Susan Urmston Philips' 'The Invisible Culture' (Native Americans in the US), Veronique Benei's 'Schooling Passions' (India),  Bradley Levinson's 'We Are All Equal' (Mexico), and Gilliam and Gullov's 'Children of the Welfare State' (Denmark). Levinson has also edited a couple of collections on education, with chapters from many ethnographers. 
>> 
>> Many excellent book-length ethnographies of schooling have also been written by sociologists. In the US, for example, there is Donna Eder's 'School Talk' on junior high schools. Educational ethnography by sociologists in the UK goes back to the 1960s and had its roots in what was at the time a department of social anthropology and sociology at Manchester - the department split because of disagreements between the two groups, but the author of one of these classic ethnographies (Colin Lacey, author of 'Hightown Grammar') has written about how he felt the joint influences were actually very fruitful for the educational ethnography that came out of this context. Besides Lacey's book, there was also David Hargreaves' 'Social Relations in a Secondary School', and quite a lot of later sociological ethnographies of schooling in the UK have been produced in this tradition by authors such as John Beynon, Stephen Ball (Beachside Comprehensive), and Peter Woods (The Divided School). These are all on secondary schools, but there is also Renold, 'Girls, Boys, and Junior Sexualities' on primary school.
>> 
>> The above is confined to book-length studies of schooling, and doesn't include articles or works about preschool or higher education (and it is also limited by my memory and ignorance).
>> 
>> If you have access to it, you should consult the journal Anthropology & Education Quarterly, which is devoted to the subject in its title, and carries not only articles but also book reviews. I am sure it would also be of help in answering your questions (b) and (c).
