Description

Explore the myth of the American Dream through Heather Beth Johnson's groundbreaking sociological study, now in its second edition with updated research and contemporary examples. This in-depth examination draws on over 200 interviews with Black and White families to expose the racial wealth gap and systemic barriers to opportunity that persist across generations. Johnson investigates how families navigate school choices and wealth inheritance whilst confronting the reality that individual effort alone cannot overcome structural inequality. The updated edition includes twenty new interviews and fresh data reflecting today's economic landscape, making it essential reading for understanding how race and class intersect to shape life outcomes. Whether you're studying sociology, anthropology, education policy, or social inequality, this Routledge publication offers rigorous analysis grounded in real family experiences. Discover how the promise of equal opportunity masks deeper patterns of inherited disadvantage and racial stratification in American society.
