Produktbeschreibung

This collection of groundbreaking studies breaks with the tradition of gauging inequality by looking 'down' at at-risk or poverty-disadvantaged schools and shifts the gaze of inquiry 'up' toward the experiences of privilege in educational environments characterized by wealth and the abundance of material resources.

Rezensionen

A great collection. Elite schooling is important not only because it defines the ladders others must climb to move up in the world, but also because it represents powerful families' best guess about the future their children will inherit. Educating Elites quickly will become required reading for any serious student of inequality in America. -- Mitchell L. Stevens, associate professor of education and sociology, Stanford University School of Education and author of Creating a Class: College A fresh and interesting collection that contains a number of pieces by talented young scholars...highly recommended. -- Annette Lareau, Stanley I.Sheerr Professor, University of Pennsylvania Class counts, and it counts in crucial ways in education. Adam Howard and Ruben Gaztambide-Fernandez have provided us with a set of important and nuanced analyses of how elite class institutions and understandings work in a system that is riven with class relations. This is a significant book for anyone who cares about elitism in education in this society. -- Michael W. Apple, John Bascom Professor of Curriculum and Instruction and Educational Policy Studies, University of Wisconsin, Madison
