Asian Americans are the fasted growing racial group in the United States today, and Asian American youth overall are outperforming their white peers academically. In this talk Warikoo brings us into an upper middle class suburb in which these trends make their way into the local high school. She describes how many white parents attempt to protect their children’s status by calling for shifts in the status system, and by drawing moral boundaries around good parenting. For their part, Asian American parents reject dominant cultural repertoires for success advocated by many of their white neighbors, and draw their own, intra-Asian moral boundaries. Overall, the book shows evidence of simultaneous spatial assimilation alongside the enduring power of whiteness and the maintenance of group boundaries between Asian Americans and whites. Ultimately, while Asian Americans and whites in the town are engaged in a “race at the top,” both benefit from the historical exclusion of African American and working class families in their upper middle class suburb.
