Title: Dispelling the Myth...
Review: I'm glad that this book finally puts to rest the myth so common in America that people can pull themselves up by their own bootstraps. Maybe it happens once in a million times. But most people are greatly affected by their surroundings and what kinds of resources they have. Conley shows that race is a resource (for whites) and that middle class advantages persist over generations. I hope that lots of white people read this book so that they realize how much is stacked in their favor.required reading for white people who live anywhere in America...
