The ideology of the American dream - the faith that an individual can attain success and virtue through strenuous effort - is the very soul of the American nation. This book talks about America's racial conflicts, and claims that the alternative lies in the inclusiveness, optimism, discipline, and high-mindedness of the American dream at its best.
