There are two narratives of the American class structure: one of a
country with boundless opportunities for upward mobility and one of
a rigid class system in which the rich stay rich while the poor
stay poor. Each of these narratives holds some truth, but each
overlooks another. In Privilege Lost, Jessi Streib traces the lives
of over 100 youth born into the upper-middle-class. Following them
for over ten years as they transition from teens to young adults,
Streib examines who falls from the upper-middle-class, how, and why
don't they see it coming. In doing so, she reveals the patterned
ways that individuals' resources and identities push them onto
mobility paths-and the complicated choices youth make between
staying true to themselves and staying in their class position.
Engaging and eye-opening, Privilege Lost brings to life the stories
of the downwardly mobile and highlights what they reveal about
class, privilege, and American family life.
