Despite the overwhelming evidence against them, many people still
believe they can overcome the economic and racial constraints
placed upon them at birth. In the first edition, Heather Beth
Johnson explored this belief in the American Dream with over 200
in-depth interviews with black and white families, highlighting the
ever-increasing racial wealth gap and the actual inequality in
opportunities. This second edition has been updated to make it
fully relevant to today's reader, with new data and illustrative
examples, including twenty new interviews. Johnson asks not just
what parents are thinking about inequality and the American Dream,
but to what extent children believe in the American Dream and how
they explain, justify, and understand the stratification of
American society. This book is an ideal addition to courses on race
and inequality.
