Educating Elites: Class Privilege and Educational Advantage

by Howard Robert and Peter W. Cookson Jr.

Book Overview

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.
