Summary: <p><a href="https://twitter.com/nkwarikoo">Natasha Warikoo</a>, Professor of Sociology at Tufts University spent time in a privileged suburb on the East Coast doing research for her book “Race at The Top: Asian Americans and Whites in Pursuit of the American Dream in Suburban Schools.” </p> <p>In a majority white town she calls Woodcrest, the Asian population is growing, and the Asian students consistently out-perform the white students there. We speak with Natasha about the competition between white and Asian students at Woodcrest and in suburbs like it. We also discuss where this leaves students whose opportunities are limited due to the lack of resources and access.</p> “Race at The Top: Asian Americans and Whites in Pursuit of the American Dream in Suburban Schools” by Natasha Warikoo(University of Chicago Press) <p> </p>
