Writing for administrators, faculty, and staff in higher education who are working with low-income and first-generation college students, Kezar (higher education, U. of Southern California) reveals organizational biases, policies, and practices that prevent postsecondary institutions from adequately serving these students, and offers practical guidance for adopting new or revised policies and practices to help these students thrive. The author begins with a review of post-structuralism as the theoretical foundation of th, then surveys previous research on low-income students and college access. Part II, on access, examines topics such as lessons learned from Indiana's 21st Century Scholars Program, and the role of financial aid in attracting low-income students. A section on entering and transitioning to college looks at campus structures using post-structural theory and discusses issues such as low-income students' identities within the middle-class norms of the academic setting. Part IV explores issues of persistence, success, and graduation, and part V addresses obstacles to transfer to four-year institutions for low-income community college students.
