This is scholarship of the first order, a study that will influence thinking about our society for the next generation. -- Jay Mathews, Washington Monthly This is a beautifully written book. Each word is so carefully chosen and the style so limpid that the text is a pleasure to read... In short, this is a book that should be bought and read by every serious student of education. -- Terence Kealey, The Times Higher Education Supplement This is a very valuable contribution to the sociological study of access to American higher education by ethnic minorities. It also contains useful information for campus personnel and academic staff... [T]his is how social science should be written... This book is highly relevant to those academic staff concerned with meaningful access for all to higher education. -- Gerald Postiglione, Educational Review
