Urban High School Students
and the Challenge of Access

Urban High School Students and the Challenge of Access, a new volume edited by William G. Tierney and Julia Colyar, documents a year in the life of five adolescents as they prepare for college. "An engaging book that paints the picture behind the numbers. Through the use of cultural biography, the authors take us into the lives of low-income students struggling to become college-goers in spite of enormous handicaps. This is a hopeful text, one that shatters stereotypes about low-income students, and examines how some students who shouldn't make it to college, do. We can learn a great deal from this wonderful book about how to shape policy with real kids in mind." -- Patricia Gándara, Professor, University of California, Davis
