| Abstract | "As education has been increasingly lauded as the path to achieving the 'American Dream,' Martín Sánchez-Jankowski utilizes extensive participant observation to examine how low-income students navigate the education system. With compassion and rigor, Potholes in the Road explores the dynamics of the multiple interrelated obstacles that low-income students must surpass in order to make educational transitions successfully from high school to college. Using extensive ethnographic research, Sánchez-Jankowski explores the mythic pull of the 'American Dream' and how obstacles of social capital, wealth, and culture make achieving such a dream through education nearly impossible"-- Provided by publisher. |
