How does the US make sense of its elite educational system, given
that it seems to be at odds with core American values, such as
equality of opportunity or upward mobility? Sophie Spieler explores
scholarly and journalistic investigations, self-representational
texts, and fictional narratives revolving around the Ivy League and
its peers in order to understand elite education and its peculiar
position in American cultural discourse. Among the book's most
surprising and groundbreaking insights is the tenacity and
adaptability of meritocratic ideology across all three
sub-discourses, despite its fundamental incompatibility with the
American educational system.
