A rare, 15-year ethnography, this book follows the lives of
individual, low-income African American youth from the beginning of
high school into their early adult years. Levine shows how their
interaction and experience with multiple institutions (family,
school, community) and individuals (parents, friends, teachers,
coaches, strangers) shape their hopes, fears, aspirations, and
worldviews. The intersectionality of their social identities-how
race, class, and gender come together to influence how they come to
think about who they are-influences many behaviors that directly
contradict their stated aspirations. Affected, too, by limited
access to resources, these youths often take a path profoundly
different from their stated values and life goals. Levine explores
the volatility and constraints underlying their decision-making and
behaviors. The book reveals the critical junctures and turning
points shaping life trajectories, challenging many long-held
assumptions about the persistence of racial inequality by offering
new insights on the educational and occupational barriers facing
young African Americans.
