Review

This is an engaging and insightful book, which sets the stage for a new wave of scholarship on elite identification. --Josipa Roksa, Contemporary Sociology

Offers hearty food for thought to anyone interested in social inequality and its reproduction via educational institutions. --Amanda Cox, Teachers College Record

The Best of the Best is a must for students of class and the role of great boarding schools in fostering America's elite. --Peter Kuriloff -- Anthropology & Education Quarterly

[The Best of the Best] offers a fresh take on elite boarding schools and is well worth reading for those interested in either education or elites. --Ezra Rosser, American University Washington College of Law

[Readers] will be gripped by Gaztambide-Fernández's rich descriptions and thoughtful insights. -- Sherry Deckman, Harvard Educational Review.

In a book that's both generous and skeptical, Rubén Gaztambide-Fernández penetrates the inner world of a top prep school, and shows how the students first construct, and then rationalize, their elite identities. Filled with irony and insight, The Best of the Best reveals both the opportunities and the casualties of privilege.
--Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot, author of The Essential Conversation: What Parents and Teachers Can Learn from Each Other
