Articles liés à Poison Ivy: How Elite Colleges Divide Us
Synopsis
Hailed as a "staggering portrait of inequality in America" (Philip Dray) Poison Ivy tells the bigger, seedier story of how elite colleges create paths to admission available only to the wealthy, despite rhetoric to the contrary. In a "lively and trenchant" (Washington Monthly) account, Evan Mandery--a Harvard graduate and current professor at a public college that serves low- and middle-income students--reveals how tacit agreements between exclusive "Ivy-plus" schools and white affluent suburbs create widespread de facto segregation. And as a college degree continues to be the surest route to upward mobility, the inequality bred in our broken higher education system is now a principal driver of skyrocketing income inequality. Mandery contrasts the lip service paid to "opportunity" by so many elite colleges and universities with schools that actually walk the walk.
Now in an accessible paperback format, Poison Ivy is a "no-holds-barred takedown" (Forbes) that synthesizes fascinating insider information on everything from how students are evaluated, unfair tax breaks, and questionable fundraising practices to suburban rituals, testing, tutoring, tuition schemes, and more. This bold, provocative indictment of America's elite colleges shows us exactly what's at stake--and what will be possible if we muster the collective will to transform it.
