However, the impact of our identity cannot be overstated.Professor Kalwant Bhopal, in her work "Race and Education," delves into how race continues to dictate the quality of education that individuals receive in Britain. Through comprehensive case studies, original research, and insightful interviews with students, educators, and scholars, she uncovers the systemic roots of privilege that manifest early in life.
