The Politics of Class, Race, and Gender: Access to Higher Education in the United States, 1960-1986.
Karen, David
American Journal of Education, v99 n2 p208-37 Feb 1991
Examines college enrollment patterns among African Americans, women, and working-class youth from 1960 to 1986. Finds that the first two groups gained broad access to elite institutions as a result of mobilization, while working-class youth did not. Political mobilization is seen to benefit groups recognized as official categories. (DM)
