Tearing Down the Gates: Confronting the Class Divide in American Education
Peter Sacks
An indictment of American education that shows how schools, colleges, and universities exacerbate inequality by providing ample opportunities for advantaged students while shutting the gates on the poor - and even the middle class. It tells the stories of young people and families as they struggle to negotiate the educational system.
