Concluding Remarks 242 Conclusion 249 Works Cited 257 330 $aHow does the US make sense of its elite educational system, given that it seems to be at odds with core American values, such as equality of opportunity or upward mobility? Sophie Spieler explores scholarly and journalistic investigations, self-representational texts, and fictional narratives revolving around the Ivy League and its peers in order to understand elite education and its peculiar position in American cultural discourse. Among the book's most surprising and groundbreaking insights is the tenacity and adaptability of meritocratic ideology across all three sub-discourses, despite its fundamental incompatibility with the American educational system. 410 0$aAmerican Culture Studies 606 $aSocial Stratification; Distinction; Meritocracy; Campus Novels; Capital; Princeton; Elite Education; Class; Discourse Analysis; Neoliberalism; Ivy League; Curtis Sittenfeld; Literature; Education; America; American Studies; Cultural Studies; Cultural Theory; Literary Studies; 610 $aAmerica. 610 $aAmerican Studies. 610 $aCampus Novels. 610 $aCapital. 610 $aClass. 610 $aCultural Studies. 610 $aCultural Theory. 610 $aCurtis Sittenfeld. 610 $aDiscourse Analysis. 610 $aDistinction. 610 $aEducation. 610 $aElite Education. 610 $aIvy League. 610 $aLiterary Studies. 610 $aLiterature. 610 $aMeritocracy. 610 $aNeoliberalism. 610 $aPrinceton. 615 4$aSocial Stratification; Distinction; Meritocracy; Campus Novels; Capital; Princeton; Elite Education; Class; Discourse Analysis; Neoliberalism; Ivy League; Curtis Sittenfeld; Literature; Education; America; American Studies; Cultural Studies; Cultural Theory; Literary Studies; 676 $a970.980 700 $aSpieler$b Sophie$pFreie Universita?t Berlin, Deutschland$4aut$0954531 712 02$aFreie Universität Berlin$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996433044203316 996 $aThe Wealthy, the Brilliant, the Few$92159003 997 $aUNISA
