Over the course of twelve years, Brown traveled more than eighty thousand miles in an old truck, visiting all fifty states and connecting with hundreds of Americans. He knocked on people's doors; met them at town halls, diners, and factories; and approached them on main streets in small towns. He shot their portraits and asked them to write down their own American dreams. Their dreams and stories--which range from hopeful, moving, and optimistic to defiant, bitter, and heartbreaking--offer a fascinating, unparalleled perspective of the striking diversity and deep nuance of the American experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1984858297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781984858290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ten Speed Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.70w x 1.10d","brand":"Ian Brown","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46199143203071,"sku":"9781984858290","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b7d7aa91-bdd2-4663-b164-ef649f530c8b.jpg?v=1727925168","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/american-dreams-ian-brown-9781984858290","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
