It demonstrates how these colleges sometimes succeed and sometimes fail in equalizing the experience of all their students. But there is more to the book than that. Although primarily an account of life and learning at small liberal arts colleges in the US today, scholars will find much of theoretical interest underlying the account. The context of the small liberal arts college is used to unpack how class works. Unlike many other books written about class in college, Amplified Advantage is not exclusively focused on how some students fare less well than their peers, but rather how all students' strategies are affected by their past experiences and classed expectations, particularly in the context of growing inequality. Amplified Advantage draws on Bourdieu's theory of class, particularly his concepts of capitals operating in a field, and habitus as way of understanding agent's structured but generative choices, to demonstrate how inequalities are met, resisted, and ultimately reproduced across generations. Chapter by chapter, the book lays out the many ways that class continues to play a role in the college experience, from choosing a major, to frequency of faculty interaction, to participation in the extra-curriculum. The last chapters demonstrate the differential burden of debt on graduates and the impact of varied parental support after graduation. Amplified Advantages adds to our understanding of how class works, the impact of parents and families on social reproduction, and the ways that colleges and universities can contribute to or reduce inequalities."-- $c Back cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Educational equalization $z United States. 650 0 $a Education, Humanistic $z United States. 650 0 $a Universities and colleges $z United States $x Admission. 650 0 $a Working class $x Education $z United States. 650 0 $a Social classes $z United States. 650 0 $a College choice $z United States. 650 0 $a College costs $z United States. 650 0 $a Education, Higher $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Universities and colleges $x Admission. 776 08 $i Print version: $a Hurst, Allison L. $t Amplified Advantage : Going to a "Good" College in an Era of Inequality $d Lanham : Lexington Books,c2019 $z 9781498589659 830 0 $a Social class in education 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20221005015442.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C9DDEB34652711EBAC2324F85BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
