Blacks in the White Elite: Will the Progress Continue? - Tapa blanda

Offers an engaging portrait both of how prep schools engage in socialization to power and of just how persuasively race channels and constrains the lives of even those Blacks admitted to such places as Andover, Choate, Exeter, Groton, and Middlesex. -- Lawrence Bobo * Contemporary Sociology * Zweigenhaft and Domhoff have done a great service to any interested scholar, policy analyst, or teacher who seeks to understand the intricate weaving of race and class in America. A fascinating look at the lives of people who have gone through rather extraordinary cultural change. -- James M. Jones * Contemporary Psychology * This stimulating and exemplary work shows what education can accomplish as a vehicle of social change, and is well worth reading. Highly recommended. * CHOICE * Sensitive and engrossing. * The Black Scholar * A page-turner. In this updated study we have here a gripping account of strivings similar to those recounted by W.E.B. DuBois in his 1903 classic The Souls of Black Folk. It can be easily adapted for use in the classroom. -- Earl Smith, PhD, Professor of Sociology and Women and Gender Studies, George Mason University, author of Policing Black Bodies: How Black Lives Are Surveilled and How to Work for Change.
