- More about The American Dream for Students of Color: Myths and Barriers to Educational Success
The American Dream for Students of Color examines the tenets of the American Dream as a merit narrative in schools and argues for moving from individualized success stories to collective, communal stories that break down myths of meritocracy, examine inequities, and move educational advocates forward.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 116 pages
Publication date: 15 March 2023
Publisher: Lexington Books
The American Dream for Students of Color examines the tenets of the American Dream as a merit narrative enacted in schools to better understand how beliefs about talent, hard work, and perseverance support the status quo rather than critically analyze barriers to educational success for students of color and students from a poverty context. Using narrative methodologies, this book explores the connections and consistencies within and between their personal narratives and the narratives of school youth and educators that work with them. Based on analysis of these shared stories, the authors argue for the importance of moving from individualized success stories that reify hard work and perseverance to collective, communal stories that serve to break down myths of meritocracy, critically examine inequities, and move educational advocates forward in authentic, audacious, hopeful ways.
