Abstract
Privileged benefaction in elite schools and the moral dilemmas, contradictions
and power politics involved are the focus of this paper. The
notion of ?the gift? provides our analytical lens. We concentrate on two
girls? schools ? one in South Africa and one in England. These were
both built, in various ways, on the British model of public schooling.
These schools pride themselves on their gifting practices. We offer a
broad overview of the different local and global manifestations of and
justifications for these practices as they occur in these schools and in
the transnational organisations of which the schools are members.
