About the work

American Dreaming (ISBN 9780691037820) explores the hopeful promises and complicated realities of pursuing success in the United States, weaving cultural critique with intimate perspectives on ambition, class, and identity.

Summary

The book follows a diverse cast of individuals as they navigate the shifting landscapes of work, community, and belonging, examining how the dream functions as both inspiration and pressure. Through layered narratives and vivid detail, it disentangles the myths of upward mobility from the lived experiences of ordinary people, revealing how race, gender, and geography intersect with aspiration. Garnering insights from history, sociology, and personal narrative, the work questions what the American Dream costs and what it can become in a changing society.
