Abstract:

Summary: "While stories of working-class and minority students overcoming obstacles to attend and graduate from college tend to emphasize the individualistic and meritocratic aspect, this book - based in extensive empirical study of American high school classrooms, and in theories of social and cultural capital - examines the social relations that often underpin such successes, highlighting the significant formal and informal academic interventions by educators and other education professionals"-- Provided by publisher.

Notes:

"No topic speaks more forcefully about the values of our country than how we treat the poor. Americans by Heart gives voice, hope, and clarity to one of America's most invisible groups--undocumented students. Whether one agrees or disagrees with country's current immigration policies, we all need to better understand the topic and hear the challenges, dreams, and struggles of these young people. This book is a compelling and thoughtful analysis on a much discussed but little studied topic."--William G. Tierney, University of Southern California
