Summary: An excellent history of community colleges.
Comment: Brint and Karabel trace the history of the community college from their "humble" beginnings at the turn of the century to the big business they are today. The only negative is the long, drawn-out case study from Mass. Because of the concise way they present the community college history, Brint and Karabel are able to also define the historical reasons behind some of the controversies which confront community colleges today.
