Low-wage workers and their families experienced a profound sense of exclusion from the techno-entrepreneurial culture, while middle class residents, witnessing up close the seemingly overnight success of a ?new entrepreneurial? class, negotiated both new and seemingly unattainable standards of personal success and the erosion of their own economic security. The Burdens of Aspiration explores the imprint of the region?s success-driven public culture, the realities of increasing social and economic insecurity, and models of success emphasized in contemporary public schools for the region?s working and middle class youth. Focused on two disparate groups of students?low-income, ?at-risk? Latino youth attending a specialized program exposing youth to high tech industry within an ?under-performing? public high school, and middle-income white and Asian students attending a ?high-performing? public school with informal connections to the tech elite?Elsa Davidson offers an in-depth look at the process of forming aspirations across lines of race and class. By analyzing the successes and sometimes unanticipated effects of the schools' attempts to shape the aspirations and values of their students, she provides keen insights into the role schooling plays in social reproduction, and how dynamics of race and class inform ideas about responsible citizenship that are instilled in America's youth. 606 $aEducation$xSocial aspects$zCalifornia$zSanta Clara Valley (Santa Clara County) 606 $aEducational equalization$zCalifornia$zSanta Clara Valley (Santa Clara County) 606 $aPolarization (Social sciences)$zCalifornia$zSanta Clara Valley (Santa Clara County) 606 $aStudent aspirations$zCalifornia$zSanta Clara Valley (Santa Clara County) 606 $aYouth$zCalifornia$zSanta Clara Valley (Santa Clara County)$xSocial conditions 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / Cultural & Social$2bisacsh 615 0$aEducation$xSocial aspects 615 0$aEducational equalization 615 0$aPolarization (Social sciences) 615 0$aStudent aspirations 615 0$aYouth$xSocial conditions. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / Cultural & Social. 676 $a379.260979473 700 $aDavidson$b Elsa$01536539 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781995203321 996 $aThe Burdens of Aspiration$93785378 997 $aUNINA
