From Library Journal Two psychologists provide a perceptive analysis of the relative importance of race and class in modern American society, based on interviews with 38 graduates of the A Better Chance (ABC) program. Founded in 1963 by 16 elite prep schools, ABC worked to identify talented but poor minority middle school students and give them a chance to attend these schools. According to the authors, the program was quite successful in opening doors for inner-city and rural blacks. Most of the ABC students graduated, attended prestigious universities, and moved into high-status professional positions, thus overcoming class barriers. Nonetheless, they have often been barred from top positions because of continuing institutional racism. An interesting, well-written work despite the limited sample. Recommended for most libraries. - Anthony O. Edmonds, Ball State Univ., Muncie, Ind. Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. Ingram In this sensitive and engrossing book, a social psychologist and a political sociologist explore the dramatic transitions faced by graduates of A Better Chance, a program that has brought black students from impoverished backgrounds to America's exclusive prep schools and universities--and ultimately to positions of power and prestige.
