- The diversity of contributions–from historians, political scientists, sociologists, and a pollster–distinguish The American Dream in the 21st Century from many other books on the topic. The multi-disciplinary focus is especially useful, as chapters provide cultural interpretations of Americans’ attitudes toward the American Dream through the lenses of race, gender, religion and ethics. –Arne L. Kalleberg, Kenan Distinguished Professor of Sociology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
