This book provides a critical analysis of the origins, nature,
development, and transformation of the state and society
historically and today, examining the class nature and social basis
of politics and the state in different societal settings. The book
emphasizes the centrality of class relations in explaining
political power and the role of the state in class-divided
societies by providing powerful theoretical and empirical analyses
of themes in political sociology in an era of globalization. It
examines in detail the major political issues and events of our
time, and makes them relevant to the study of power and politics
today.Students from many ethnic minority backgrounds and low-income
families are underrepresented in American colleges and
universities. This book describes and assesses educational policies
and practices that seek to rectify this important manifestation of
structured inequality. Inspired by a commitment to providing a
pathway to college and beyond, Mehan and his team document the
innovate practices developed and implemented at the nationally
recognized schools created by The Center for Research in
Educational Equity, Access, and Teaching Excellence (CREATE) at the
University of California San Diego: the Preuss School, a 6 12
charter school on the UCSD campus for underrepresented minority
students; and nearby schools located in economically depressed
neighborhoods. Based on long-term research, Mehan s book makes
important contributions to the literature on educational
achievement disparities that exist and are growing within the
United States. He sheds light on how we can improve public policy
for the futures of secondary school students."
