Getting College Ready: Latin@ Student Experiences of Race, Access,
and Belonging at Predominantly White Universities challenges the
way we conceive of college access, retention, and success for
underrepresented students writ large. Specifically, through
presenting an in-depth, qualitative case study on six Latin@
students transitioning to a public, predominantly White university,
it examines what the institution does, or doesn't do, to meet the
needs of these students. This book seamlessly combines the topics
of college access and the transition to college for
underrepresented students; it offers a comprehensive review of what
we already know about underrepresented students in college and how
they get there; it challenges some of this existing literature; and
throughout, it weaves in the compelling voices and experiences of
the study's focal students and staff members tasked with supporting
them. This thoughtful study demands that we reconsider the ways in
which we understand college access, school success, college
preparation, the tenuous relationship between religious
fundamentalism and public education, and conceptions of race and
racism. Indeed, this work calls into question what it means to be
"college ready".
