Me Alone by Joanna Gore
ISBN 0 9513997 8 0 - £6.95
Joanna Gore spent three months in a school experiencing what the children experience on a day to day level.
Such things as endless lining up, eating dinner, sitting with 'back straight, hands on head, bottoms on the floor', playing in the sand, having her hair pulled and sneaking sherbet in assembly.
She considers the everyday forms of power and control exercised over the children.
Much of this control is internalised and embodied within the person as the children 'grow up', but they also find ingenious, playful, creative and effective ways to resist and so get to play a part in social change.
