"Overall, the book uncovers some important findings in relation to identity construction and privileged youth. The collaborative, student- involved research is also to be applauded." - Elizabeth Silva, Teachers College Record, January 2015"Privilege does not always know itself as such. A sense of place, social membership and entitlement obscure what it means for those who have no such defenses. Even the most sympathetic and insightful perspective that social science can create is obscured by what the social scientist or student cannot see, their own place in the hierarchy. The following chapters try valiantly to look past that obscurity, to look at what is so hard to examine, their own place in the larger world." – From the Foreword by Dorothy Allison, Award-Winning Writer, Scholar, and Activist
