| book description |

This ethnographic study examines the experiences of seven Asian American high school students across three test preparation centers (hagwons) in the New York / New Jersey area. This study found that hagwon was a site of convergence for Eastern values, rugged American individualism, and the rise of dataâ€”creating for students a distinct and inescapable imperative centered on achievement. This â€œhabitus of hagwonâ€ informed behavioral, curricular, even environmental decisions for students and hagwons. Ultimately, hagwon was part of an essential cultural inscription and calculation: to optimize studentsâ€™ odds for desired outcomes at every level of college admissions and beyond.
