Drawing upon quantitative data gathered from the US Census and US Department of Education, as well as interviews with students from a variety of socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds, "Lower Income Students and The Perpetuation of Inequality" examines the question of who really benefits from public higher education. It engages with questions of social capital, opportunity, funding and access to education, presenting a rich discussion of social mobility, the value of college education and the impact of education upon the redistribution of income. A thorough exploration of the real impact of college on American society, this volume will appeal to social scientists with interests in education, social capital, social stratification, class and social mobility.
