Class in America

Summary

"Class and Race examines how African Americans, Native Americans, and other groups have grappled with class structures in American society, studying the ways in which racism has shaped those structures and continues to do so today. Features include a glossary, references, websites, source notes, and an index."--, provided by publisher"Discussions of social and economic class have taken center stage in the modern American political landscape. Activists chant about the greed of the people they describe as "the one percent." Middle-class workers face industries changing rapidly due to offshoring and automations. The poorest people struggle for survival every day. With these realities, some are questioning the truth of the conventional American dream--the belief that with hard work, Americans of any class can achieve anything. Assess the facts and decide for yourself in the Class in America series."--, back cover
