    Book SynopsisThis ground-breaking book opens new horizons in understanding educational decision-making and how schooling patterns are shaped by, and reshape, rural communities. It provides a humane portrait of the struggles faced by mothers in rural Kenya to educate their children, despite the free education policy'.Based on a prize-winning study examining mothers' attitudes to education in a rural Kenyan community, this vividly nuanced ethnographic work draws upon African feminist perspectives to describe the livelihoods and aspirations of 32 mothers responsible for over 180 children. It explores the effects of mothers' school histories and the constraining effects of land practices and patriarchal culture on their actions. Their school choice and engagement strategies reflect different facilitating environments, their educational values, the use of social mothering practices and reliance on kinship reciprocity. The findings illustrate the importance of recognising the diversity oTrade Review"Mothers matter. Here is the close-focus story of how women make ends meet, and shape children's schooling, in a world of poverty and gender inequality. This is more than a fine ethnography of village life. It breaks new ground, especially in showing how 'social-mothering' extends beyond immediate kinship to include other children; and in showing the daily struggles that affect engagement with school. Tracing the varied, often tense relationships between women and men, adults and children, families and schools, Fibian Lukalo's approach to the dilemmas of education, development and social justice is relevant far beyond East Africa."Raewyn Connell, Professor Emerita, University of Sydney, Australia."This book offers an extraordinary account of children’s access to schooling in the context of rural life in Kenya. Focusing on women as mothers, the narrative reveals how multiple dynamics unfold to make mother’s agency regarding their children’s education, particularly that of daughters, a residual rather than an explicit decision. A must read for those seeking to understand the complex and tortuous connections among gender, poverty, culture, and educational attainment—connections that defy easy synthesis."Nelly P. Stromquist, Emerita Professor, University of Maryland, USA."Mothers and Schooling provides a deep, nuanced reflection on the interplay between poverty, patriarchy and policy when it comes to educational decision-making on the African continent. Fibian Lukalo offers a thoroughly researched exposition on how mothers and motherhood chart educational directions for their children amidst socio-economic, cultural and gender dynamics that have all too frequently been considered alone. She offers a welcome contribution to the debate on individual versus collective agency, and the multiple roles women play in the lives of children, not only their own. Most importantly the book shows how educational policy, developed by global agencies in New York or Geneva, land in small rural villages– in this case in Kenya. It asks pertinent questions regarding the limits and possibilities of social reform through education, and how women contest power in the context of Education for All." Sharlene Swartz, Executive Director of Inclusive Economic Development, Human Sciences Research Council and Professor of Philosophy, University of Fort Hare, South Africa. "Lukalo’s detailed account of educational decision making by mothers in rural Kenya introduces us to "maternal pedagogies" and how they shape the schooling trajectories of their children. Through ethnographically-rich longitudinal research, Lukalo brings mothers’ voices to the fore as they reflect on their own educational experiences and the effects of gender, poverty, and policy on the decisions they make for their offspring. Their life histories complicate assumptions about Education for All and illustrate the importance of mothers’ agency in policy implementation."Frances Vavrus, Professor of Comparative and International Development Education, University of Minnesota, USA.Table of ContentsList of illustrationsAcknowledgementsList of abbreviations1 Mothers and school decision-making: An introductionAn introductionSituating the studyThe structure of the bookPART IUncovering spaces for mothers’ voices2 Gendered households and mothering Contextualising schoolingAfrican feminist perspectivesReflections3 Researching mothers’ lives in situLiving in WelaThe ethics of naming, hearing and valuingResearch dynamics and validations Concluding commentsPART IIMothers’ school choices: educational histories, aspirations and constraints 4 Education in Wela - ‘the hunched-back village’Children: education, domestic life and resourcesFamily patterns of schoolingConclusion 5 Schooling in mothers’ lives: childhood memories of support, silence and denialGendered memories: the marginalising of girls’ educationPersonal resilience: the pursuit of ‘becoming educated’ Self-blame: the guilt associated with insufficient schoolingReflections 6 Mothers at the heart of decision-making‘Possessing certificates': mothers as teachers‘We reached’: choice dilemmas of mothers with some schoolingArduous school encounters: disability and infirmityMothers’ approaches to schooling 7 Schooling ‘all’ children?
