An Essential Guide, 2008-06-24
This book is an excellent guide to understanding many of the issues and challenges confronting those who work with students from underserved backgrounds. Although there's a great deal of statistical data, it's easy to skip it unless you're a data geek (not me) and get right to the clear and humane conclusions stemming from what appears to be excellent research. Well written and focused, the various writers have been well paired so the book appears to be one whole rather than many essays. In particular I appreciated the attention to "cultural capital" in the book and ways to evaluate programs geared to the underserved. This is a useful and I think essential guide for those working with student and counselor populations outside the highly privileged. I underlined a great deal and plan to use it as a handbook in the future.
