<http://bit.ly/q0KJEL> The Burdens of Aspiration <http://bit.ly/q0KJEL>
Schools, Youth, and Success in the Divided Social Worlds of Silicon Valley
Elsa Davidson
The Burdens of Aspiration explores the imprint of the Silicon Valley's success-driven public culture, the realities of increasing social and economic insecurity, and models of success emphasized in contemporary public schools for the region's working and middle class youth. Focused on two disparate groups of students-low-income, "at-risk" Latino youth attending a specialized program exposing youth to high tech industry within an "under-performing" public high school, and middle-income white and Asian students attending a "high-performing" public school with informal connections to the tech elite-Elsa Davidson offers an in-depth look at the process of forming aspirations across lines of race and class.
