In The American Dream for Students of Color, the tenets of the
American Dream as a merit narrative enacted in schools are examined
to better understand how beliefs about talent, hard work, and
perseverance support the status quo rather than critical analyze
barriers to educational success for students of color and students
from a poverty context. Using narrative methodologies, this book
explores the connections and consistencies within and between their
personal narratives and the narratives of school youth and
educators that work with them. Based on analysis of these shared
stories, the authors argue for the importance of moving from
individualized success stories that reify hard work and
perseverance to collective, communal stories that serve to break
down myths of meritocracy, critically examine inequities, and move
educational advocates forward in authentic, audacious, hopeful
ways.
