Asian Americans in Class: Charting the Achievement Gap Among Korean American Youth

by Jamie Lew

Asian Americans in Class: Charting the Achievement Gap Among Korean American Youth Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This book challenges the model minority stereotype of Asian American students as a critical step toward educating all children well. Focusing on Korean American youth in New York City schools, Jamie Lew compares high-achieving students attending a competitive magnet high school with students who have dropped out of a neighborhood high school. She finds that class, race, social networks, parental strategies, and schooling resources all affect the aspirations and academic achievement of Asian American youth.
