Abstract

This chapter first analyses the principal texts in which Hill describes the Capability-Expectations Gap (CEG). The aim is to identify the dominant discourse in these texts. The chapter then turns to a deconstructivist reading of the texts. The aim here is to identify tensions in the texts that challenge the dominant discourse in the first reading of Hill’s texts. The purpose is to carry out a double reading of the texts on the CEG. The double reading draws on the theoretical considerations in Chapter 2.
