Publisher's Synopsis

We often hear about the growing divide between rich and poor in America. This book attempts to locate the source of this trend where it is least expected to be found - in our schools. It shows how schools, colleges, and universities exacerbate inequality by providing ample opportunities for advantaged students while shutting the gates on the poor.
