We would suggest that the young people’s struggles to establish a sense of self-worth are heightened due to their location within an education system and wider social field in which working-class identities are derided and un/ devalued. 4) suggests that class identities are highly charged because they are associated with ‘injustice and moral evaluation’ and those living stigmatised class identities will work to produce themselves as having worth.

The security measures were constructed as not merely protecting the school buildings, pupils and staff from the external dangers of ‘the street’ and the high crime in the local area, but as also managing the risk posed to the ‘outside’ by particular pupils, like Babu (Riverway): ‘They don’t let me go out cos I’m too naughty in school . . they know I’m going to come back but they just don’t trust me.
There is absolutely no guarantee that all the politics will be right because a woman does it’. However, while there are no guarantees, when one group’s perspectives are systematically excluded from a field of knowledge, using this group’s views as a starting point can provide a basis for developing alternative knowledges about these processes of exclusion (Hughes, 2002). We believe that the disjunctions between the views expressed by the young people in this book and those expressed by their teachers and by policymakers build a strong case for this kind of approach.
