This new edition contextualizes Lareau''s original ethnography in a discussion of the most pressing issues facing educators at the beginning of the new millennium.

Industry Reviews

Home Advantage is a marvelous tool for teaching about both the dynamics of school-family linkages and the realities of the process of social research. The book invariably triggers spirited discussions among students, and has a lasting influence on how they think about the sociology of education and about research.--Aaron M. Pallas, professor of sociology and education, Teachers College, Columbia University
