Ardoin and martinez have compiled a vital resource for all in academia. Together with their co-authors, theyprovide invaluable first-hand accounts that help readers take ownership oftheir own class identity while also providing possibility models and pathwaysfor persistence. Perhaps the largest contribution this book makes to highereducation is that it provides narratives and tools to build campuses that serveequitably across class. This book is a must-read for all in highereducation. Peter Paquette, Dean of Students, Coastal Carolina University

Why do we feel uncomfortable talking about class? Why is it taboo? Why do people often address class through coded terminology like trashy, classy, and snobby? How does discriminatory language, or how do conscious or unconscious derogatory attitudes, or the anticipation of such behaviors, impact those from poor and working class backgrounds when they straddle class?

Through 26 narratives of individuals from poor and working class backgrounds  ranging from students, to multiple levels of administrators and faculty, both tenured and non-tenured  this book provides a vivid understanding of how people can experience and straddle class in the middle, upper, or even elitist class contexts of the academy.

Through the powerful stories of individuals who hold many different identities and naming a range of ways they identify in terms of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, age, ability, and religion, among others this book shows how social class identity and classism impact people's experience in higher education and why we should focus more attention on this dimension of identity.

A concluding chapter proposes means for both increasing social class consciousness and social class inclusivity in the academy.
