Could the promise of upward mobility have a dark side? In "Tensions
in the American Dream," Melanie and Roderick Bush ask, how does a
"nation of immigrants" pledge inclusion, yet marginalize so many
citizens based on race, class, and gender? The authors consider the
origins and development of the U.S. nation and empire; the founding
principles of belonging, nationalism, and exceptionalism; and their
lived reality.
"Tensions in the American Dream" also addresses the relevancy of
nation to empire in the context of the historical world capitalist
system. The authors ask, is the American Dream a reality only
questioned by those unwilling or unable to achieve it? What is the
"good life" and how is it particularly "American"?
