Language: English Table of ContentsReviewsFor those of us who work with strivers. . . . Moving Up Without Losing Your Way provides an empathetic and clear-eyed analysis of the difficult choices they must make, and the costs of those choices to both themselves and their communities. ---James M. Lang, Chronicle of Higher Education Winner of the Frederic W. Ness Book Award, Association of American Colleges and Universities Winner of the Grawemeyer Award in Education For those of us who work with strivers. . . . Moving Up Without Losing Your Way provides an empathetic and clear-eyed analysis of the difficult choices they must make, and the costs of those choices to both themselves and their communities. ---James M. Lang, Chronicle of Higher Education This important and accessible study demonstrates the value of ethical analyses to understand these issues, aimed at strivers, their families, their communities, and the entire higher education community. * Choice * Morton is not the first person to describe the myths and ordeals of upward mobility. Nor is she the first to call attention to this group of striving students. But where Morton differs-and meaningfully contributes-is in her perspective as a philosopher. ---Shaun Ossei-Owusu, Public Books Morton makes her main argument through an astute and very accessible philosophical analysis. . . . Morton's book is valuable because it not only focuses on the ethical costs of social mobility but also hints at solutions. ---Helen De Cruz, The Philosphers' Magazine A good guide to a road not yet well-enough traveled but increasingly important if higher education is to better serve more of the students coming its way. ---Mary Taylor Huber, Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning Compelling and momentous. . . . Morton's book occasions a critical reflection for strivers, educators, administrators in higher education, and for anyone who wishes to better understand and support strivers they know. ---Vikramaditya Joshi, Studies in Philosophy and Education Moving Up without Losing Your Way compellingly contends that conventional discourse about the socioeconomic mobility of college students from working-class, low-income, and first-generation backgrounds is fundamentally flawed. Showing how the process of mobility can be detrimental to students, this immensely readable book makes important arguments about the nature of power and structure in American society. Elizabeth M. Lee, author of Class and Campus Life oeWhat are the ethical costs borne by first-generation students and their families and communities? Moving Up without Losing Your Way investigates the burden that first-generation, low-income, and immigrant students carry when they strive to achieve upward mobility through attending college. This work reshapes the conversation about upward mobility, shifting our focus from the opportunities embedded in the current social structure, to the price paid by those aiming to climb it.
