Produktinformationen zu „Economic Inequality, Neoliberalism, and the American Community College / Progress in Mathematics (PDF)“
This book aims to deepen public understanding of the community college and to challenge our longstanding reliance on a deficit model for defining this important, powerful, and transformative institution. Featuring a unique combination of data and research, Sullivan seeks to help redefine, update, and reshape public perception about community colleges. This book gives serious attention to student voices, and includes narratives written by community college students about their experiences attending college at an open admissions institution. Sullivan examines the history of the modern community college and the economic model that is driving much of the current discussion in higher education today. Sullivan argues that the community college has done much to promote social justice and economic equality in America since the founding of the modern community college in 1947 by the Truman Commission.

“Sullivan (English, Manchester Community College, Conn.) provides an impressive counter-narrative to the notion that community colleges are failures. … Sullivan’s book is an excellent starting point for students and others interested in the community who wish to accept that challenge. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals.” (M. Oromaner, Choice, Vol. 55 (10), June, 2018)
