This book will support teachers, counsellors, and administrators in creating a culturally relevant, school-wide, college-going culture to improve educational experiences and outcomes for Black and Latina/o youth. The authors present the perspectives and experiences of 25 students, focusing on the complexities of their daily lives and illuminating some of the significant influences that have supported or hindered their college readiness and access. They situate issues of college access in a national context, provide insight into who and what influences youth's college-going processes, and engage readers in critical analysis to create culturally relevant policies and practices within their own school contexts.

Michelle G. Knight is an associate professor at Teachers College, Columbia University, USA and a former middle-school teacher and high school college advisor. Joanne E. Marciano is a doctoral candidate and research associate at Teachers College, Columbia University, USA and a high school English teacher.
