While more students than ever attend college, admissions at the most selective colleges and universities have become incredibly competitive. The most highly valued postsecondary destinations in the United States are reporting markedly increased numbers of applications and commensurate lower acceptance rates. Ranking schemata, such as the "US News & World Report" college rankings, further fan the flames of competition, serving to exacerbate anxiety among privileged students and families. The fear, it seems, is that failure to gain entry into a good college limits long-term economic and social opportunity, a fear that is, by and large, substantiated in the scholarly literature."Class Warfare" offers an inside view of the day-to-day and week-by-week struggles over class positioning engaged in by students, parents, and communities in public and private privileged secondary schools. Ultimately, the authors argue that, for the middle class, it is the college admissions process that represents the culmination of the battle to attain and maintain social class from generation to generation. "Class Warfare" consequently reveals and informs our understanding of the new and complex ways education and social class are intertwined in America today. "
