Young minority men are often portrayed in popular media as victims
of poverty and discrimination. A Dream Denied delves deeper,
investigating the social and cultural implications of the "American
dream" narrative for young minority men in the juvenile justice
systems in Boston and Chicago. This book connects young male
offenders' cycles of desistance and recidivism with normative
assumptions about success and failure in American society, exposing
a tragic disconnect between structural reality and juvenile justice
policy. This book challenges us to reconsider how American society
relates to its most vulnerable members, how it responds to their
personal failures, and how it promises them a better future.
