Sommario/riassunto |
|
The Burden of Academic Success: Loyalists, Renegades, and Double Agents explores working-class college students' understandings of class and social mobility through in-depth interviews rich in ethnographic detail. This book is a compelling read for students and a much-needed addition to our understanding of how class operates today, both inside and outside of the classroom. |
