Rosa Ehrenreich

4.9/5 (17352 ratings)

Description:A Garden of Paper Flowers is an informed, informative and very personal guide through the scholarly halls of power and privilege. Rosa Ehrenreich went to Oxford University as a Marshall Scholar studying European Politics after a degree at Harvard. What she found at Oxford fascinated and horrified her.Anachronistic regulations, inaccesible dons and administrators and absurdly poor resources combine to make learning nearly impossible at Oxford. In frustration, students throw themselves instead into sport, pranks and alcohol, while exclusive societies and an admissions policy which pays little attention to diversity serve to make Oxford a snobbish and socially stratified place.Through complacency and inefficiency, Rosa Ehrenreich charges, Oxford fails both its students and British society as a whole. She leavens her account with humour and has a foreigner's healthy detachment which results in an acute and provocative account of one of England's most cherished and least understood institutions.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
