{"product_id":"privilege-lost-jessi-streib-9780190854058","title":"Privilege Lost: Who Leaves the Upper Middle Class and How They Fall","description":"There are two narratives of the American class structure: one of a country with boundless opportunities for upward mobility and one of a rigid class system in which the rich stay rich while the poor stay poor. Each of these narratives holds some truth, but each overlooks another. In \u003cem\u003ePrivilege Lost\u003c\/em\u003e, Jessi Streib traces the lives of over 100 youth born into the upper-middle-class. Following them for over ten years as they transition from teens to young adults, Streib examines who falls from the upper-middle-class, how, and why don't they see it coming. In doing so, she reveals the patterned ways that individuals' resources and identities push them onto mobility paths--and the complicated choices youth make between staying true to themselves and staying in their class position. Engaging and eye-opening, \u003cem\u003ePrivilege Lost \u003c\/em\u003ebrings to life the stories of the downwardly mobile and highlights what they reveal about class, privilege, and American family life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessi Streib\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0190854057\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190854058\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2021","brand":"Jessi Streib","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988921581823,"sku":"9780190854058","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2f5b2ae3-eeaf-4f80-903e-867f13f0aa5b.jpg?v=1683297047","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/privilege-lost-jessi-streib-9780190854058","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
