'Students of higher education and those who work within (or simply with) higher education would benefit from a careful reading of this book....The strength of this text is its authors' thorough commitment to provide both a big picture and street level assessment of the development of the concepts of privilege and diversity within higher education.' -Teachers College Record, December 14, 2007
"…what puts the study in a class by itself, in my view, is its scrupulous attention to gender as well as to race, and its stunning triptych of ethnographies that transport the reader inside each of the institutions." Mary Hartman, Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society, Spring 2008
