Clearing the Path for First-Generation College Students comprises a
wide range of studies that explore the multidimensional social
processes and meanings germane to the experiences of
first-generation college students before and during their
matriculation into institutions of higher education. The chapters
offer timely, empirical examinations of the ways that these
students negotiate experiences shaped by structural inequities in
higher education institutions and the pathways that lead to them.
This volume provides insight into the dilemmas that arise from the
transformation of students' class identities in pursuit of upward
mobility, as well as their quest for community and a sense of
"belonging" on college campuses that have not been historically
designed for them. While centering first-generation status, this
collection also critically engages the ways in which other
dimensions of social identity intersect to inform students'
educational experiences in relation to dynamics of race, ethnicity,
socioeconomic class, gender, and immigration. Additionally, this
book takes a holistic approach by exploring the ways in which
first-generation college students are influenced by, and engage
with, their families and communities of origin as they undertake
their educational careers.
