Offers readers a rich understanding of the experience of students who are first in their family to attend college. This book is a theoretically informed study of the lived experience of FG students and draws on their voices to demonstrate how their insights interface with what we, as educators, think we know about them.

Rashné R. Jehangir is Associate Professor in the Department of Postsecondary Teaching and Learning at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, USA.
