Rezensionen
'This compelling book reveals the commanding imprint of elite power on the workings of Britain's most famous universities. Bhopal and Myers quote numerous revealing accounts from students whose feelings are all too clearly marked by this experience. This will be an invaluable resource for students, academics and the wider public who want to understand how deep inequalities mark our education system.'

Mike Savage, Professor of Sociology, London School of Economics and Political Science

'This ground-breaking book brings a range of critical theories to bear on the global problems posed by our elite universities. It considers how they cynically attempt to promote meritocracy and egalitarianism whilst simultaneously obscuring discriminatory practices. The book analyses a variety of topical issues including student experiences and how elite universities build a global reputation. Through an original theoretical lens and intensive empirical research, Bhopal and Myers set a critical fire beneath the virtue signalling marketing and positioning of the luxury brands of the worldwide Higher Education sphere.'

Professor John Preston, Professor of Sociology, University of Essex

'Universities are under attack from the political right, who would have us believe that they are bastions of 'woke' egalitarianism, intent of the destruction of Western civilization. As this book demonstrates, with devastating clarity and detailed analysis, the truth is that elite universities operate as engines of class and race inequity. Elite universities market themselves as places of privilege and they fulfil an extraordinarily important role in legitimating and reproducing the racist and class structures upon which they feed.'

David Gillborn, Editor-in-Chief, Race Ethnicity and Education

'The authors frame their analysis through the work of Bourdieu and critical race theory to explore how lived experience, identity, and family background impact the sociocultural and educational experiences of graduate students attending elite universities. Focusing on race and class, the text progressively explores belonging, branding, and capital, and also challenges meritocratic notions of equality through education. The text illustrates the realities of graduate students engaged in both implicit and explicit competition for white capital. This text would make an excellent example of the process and outcomes of conducting research, analyzing data, and presenting insights for graduate students or for undergraduates pursuing research.'

D. Conrad, Randolph-Macon College, CHOICE
