Description

Move beyond simple stories of individual merit to understand the real social dynamics behind student success. This book from the Routledge Research in Education series provides a deep look into how working-class and minority students navigate the path to college. Based on extensive empirical study within American high school classrooms, the text uses theories of social and cultural capital to examine the social relations that support academic achievement. Rather than focusing solely on personal grit, this work highlights the role of formal and informal academic interventions. Readers will gain insight into how educators and other education professionals provide the support necessary for students to overcome obstacles and graduate. It is an essential resource for those studying the structural and social factors that influence educational outcomes in the United States.
