Abstract	"In Academic Apartheid, sociologist Sean J. Drake addresses long-standing problems of educational inequality from a nuanced perspective, looking at how race and class intersect to affect modern school segregation. Drawing on over two years of ethnographic observation and dozens of interviews at two distinct high schools in a racially diverse Southern California suburb, Drake unveils hidden institutional mechanisms that lead to the overt segregation and symbolic criminalization of Black, Latino, and lower-income students who struggle academically. His work illuminates how institutional definitions of success contribute to school segregation, how institutional actors leverage those definitions to justify inequality, and the ways in which local immigrant groups use their ethnic resources to succeed. Academic Apartheid represents a new way forward for scholars whose work sits at the intersection of education, race and ethnicity, class, and immigration." -- Contents: Introduction : segregated schools and disadvantaged students in an affluent neighborhood -- "If you're not in AP classes, then who are you?": how pinnacle's institutional culture stratified the student body -- The symbolic criminalization of failure -- the segregation of teaching and learning -- The institutionalization of ethnic capital -- "We've failed these kids" : missed opportunities and signs of hope -- Conclusion -- Methodological postscript.
