The exploration of the American Dream reveals the stark realities of economic and racial constraints faced by individuals from birth. In this updated edition, Heather Beth Johnson incorporates new data and twenty fresh interviews, deepening the analysis of the racial wealth gap and opportunity inequality. The book examines not only parental perspectives on these issues but also how children perceive and rationalize the American Dream and societal stratification. It serves as a valuable resource for courses on race and inequality.
