Privilege: The Making of an Adolescent Elite at St. Paul’s School is a work of cultural sociology by Shamus Rahman Khan that examines how an American elite boarding school reproduces advantage while appearing more open and inclusive than in the past. Drawing on ethnographic observation and his own experience as a former student and later researcher at St. Paul’s School, Khan studies the daily life, values, and social training of adolescents in one of the nation’s most prestigious private schools. The book is not simply about admission to an elite institution; it is about how privilege is taught, embodied, and normalized through routines, expectations, and peer culture. Its larger purpose is to explain why elite institutions can diversify racially and gender-wise while still preserving class power. By focusing on St. Paul’s as a case study, the book offers a broader analysis of meritocracy, inequality, and the changing style of American elite formation.
