In this book, Caroline Dyer, whose work with education in India has been known for many years through many articles, draws together her ethnographic experience of living with the Rabari of India, and reflects on what this means for Education for All goals
The book falls into three parts—an introductory discussion of the themes of Education for All and marginalisation; a narrative of the experiences of herself and her colleague over a number of years with the Rabari, together with a follow-up visit after the earthquake of 2001; and a final discussion drawing on work in other parts of the world and different attempts to find solutions to some of the issues raised [If you are looking for a rare good news story from education in developing countries, read the account of the work in Kenya on pages 175-77]
