Description
This excerpt from the book discusses how working-class and minority students often have to overcome obstacles to attend and graduate from college. The excerpt also discusses how educators and other education professionals often help working-class and minority students succeed.
While stories of working-class and minority students overcoming obstacles to attend and graduate from college tend to emphasize the individualistic and meritocratic aspect, this book - based in extensive empirical study of American high school classrooms, and in theories of social and cultural capital - examines the social relations that often underpin such successes, highlighting the significant formal and informal academic interventions by educators and other education professionals.
