Summary

"You can't get away from yourself by moving from one place to another."

In the wake of World War I, a group of disillusioned American and British expatriates drifts through the cafes of Paris, searching for a purpose that the war stripped away. At the center of this circle are Jake Barnes—a journalist left impotent by a war wound—and the captivating, fiercely independent Lady Brett Ashley. Their journey takes them from the jazz-soaked nights of the Rive Gauche to the raw, sun-drenched intensity of the bullfights in Pamplona.

The Iceberg Theory in Action: Hemingway's revolutionary prose is on full display here. Using his "Iceberg Theory," he conveys deep emotional turmoil through sparse, rhythmic dialogue and direct action. Beneath the surface of every drink ordered and every trout caught lies a profound exploration of masculinity, resilience, and the "lost" nature of a youth that survived the trenches only to find a hollow peace.

The Ritual of the Bullring: The novel reaches its crescendo during the Fiesta de San Fermín. Hemingway contrasts the chaotic, drunken revelry of the expatriates with the "purity" and tragic grace of the bullfight. Through the young matador Pedro Romero, Hemingway explores the "grace under pressure" that becomes the only available virtue in a world where traditional moral structures have collapsed.

    In the 1930s, American colleges and universities began to screen applications using the SAT, a mass-administered, IQ-descended standardized test. The widespread adoption of the test accompanied the development of the world's first mass higher education system—and served to promote the idea that the United States was becoming a "meritocracy." In Higher Admissions, Nicholas Lemann reflects on the state of America's aspirational meritocracy and the enduring value and meaning of standardized testing. 
 
 
 
Lemann writes that the anticipation of the Supreme Court's 2023 decision banning affirmative action, plus the Covid pandemic, led hundreds of universities to stop requiring standardized admissions tests; now a handful of elite universities are reinstituting test requirements. The country is preoccupied with the admissions policies of the most selective universities, but Lemann redirects our attention to an alternate path that American higher education can still take—one that emphasizes a significant upgrade of the entire higher education system. Lemann argues that to improve the state of higher education overall, we should focus not on the narrow chokepoint of admission to highly selective colleges, but on efforts to create as much meaningful opportunity for flourishing in our vast higher education system for as many people as possible.

    This illuminating book offers an extensive, expert analysis of a school system that bears the legacy, hallmarks, and consequences that lie at the intersection of race and education. Urban education scholar Camika Royal deftly analyzes decades of efforts aimed at improving school performance within the School District of Philadelphia (SDP), in a brisk survey spanning every SDP superintendency from the 1960s through 2017. 
 
 
 
Royal interrogates the history of education and educational reforms, recounting city, state, and federal interventions. Her survey provides sociopolitical context and rich groundwork for a nuanced examination of why many large urban districts struggle to implement reforms with fidelity and in ways that advance Black students academically and holistically. 
 
 
 
In a bracing critique, Royal bears witness to the ways in which positive public school reform has been obstructed: through racism and racial capitalism, but also via liberal ideals, neoliberal practices, and austerity tactics. 
 
 
 
Not Paved for Us highlights the experiences of Black educators as they navigate the racial and cultural politics of urban school reform.
