Meaningful Inconsistencies

The book explores the impact of categorizing students by ethnicity, age, gender, and language within the context of a secondary school in Aotearoa/New Zealand, particularly focusing on its bilingual program. It examines how neoliberal reforms and the shift toward biculturalism influence educational access and academic achievement. By analyzing the everyday implications of these categorizations, the work sheds light on the broader themes of subjectivity, ethnic relations, and nationhood, making it a vital resource for those interested in bilingual education.
