Recensioner i media

“Sullivan’s volume is highly interdisciplinary, drawing on economics, sociology, writing studies, higher education … providing a comprehensive and accessible understanding of what he sees as the role and the challenges of the community college. … this volume is the one I would choose for my administration to read as it provides a comprehensive and deeply informed perspective. The book provides the reader with one of the most complete pictures of the 2-year college and the material and ideological debates surrounding it.” (Darin L. Jensen, Community College Review, Vol. 46 (4), 2018)“Sullivan (English, Manchester Community College, Conn.) provides an impressive counter-narrative to the notion that community colleges are failures. … Sullivan’s book is an excellent starting point for students and others interested in the community who wish to accept that challenge. Summing Up: Highlyrecommended. Upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals.” (M. Oromaner, Choice, Vol. 55 (10), June, 2018)
