*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2017*

If you are a low income student who is about to enter an elite institution, this will help you understand your classmates and the environment you are entering into. I read this for a college sociology class and it gave me so much insight. I am from a middle class town in the South and I left to attend an Ivy League university in the North East. Culture shock is an understatement. This book helped me understand so many of the cultural nuances that seemed bizarre to me.

    A better guidebook to preppie psychology than the Preppie Handbook
  

*by H***A on Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2018*

This is a fascinating analysis is in how prep school does its work, and as Khan makes clear, that work isn't just learning Shakespeare or calculus or film theory, but how to embody "privilege" in a society that wants to view itself as class-less and democratic. I didn't go to prep school, but came across a lot of prepsters in college and after and this book, more than anything, demystified the prep school mystique.

    Understanding What Privilege is and How it is Cultivated
  

*by T***M on Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2016*

Shamus Rahman Khan studies the issue of privilege by studying students at a boarding school, St. Paul, from the point of view of a sociologist. His explanation of privilege helps to clear its meaning as the word is used way too often incorrectly. As a popular phrase of student activist and of activist in general, the phrase is given a negative connotation by implying that others have unfair advantages over others that should be redressed. Of course those under attack are none too thrilled by mobs of protestors chanting against them and they view the words tossed around as slander. Khan avoids the confusion around what privilege means by giving an objective view of what privilege is and provides reasons for why it remains invisible. He also provides reasons for how privilege has aided in ushering in a new era of "democratic inequality."That being said a majority of conclusions in his book are based off his interaction with students and faculty. During some parts of his book his observations appear to be stretching quite a bit. Generalizations based off the observations of a selected number of students at one school can stray to the limit of stereotyping. However, important trends in the new elite youth are addressed such as "exceptional indifference" and "reading shortcuts." Overall a decent read that follows a narrative of a teacher trying to observe how St. Paul is structured for success.
