Potholes in the Road - Transition Problems for Low-Income Youth in High School (Paperback)

Education has been increasingly lauded as the path to achieving the American Dream, and in this book Martin Sanchez-Jankowski uses extensive ethnographic research to explore the dynamics of the interrelated barriers that low-income students must surpass in order to make transitions successfully from high school to college. With rigor and compassion, and engaging in participant observation to examine how individual students confront the education system, Potholes in the Road shows how obstacles related to issues of structure, culture, and agency make achieving the American Dream through education particularly challenging.
