The Routledge Handbook on the American Dream provides an excellent overview on the promises and pitfalls of one of the world's most powerful ideas and ideologies. A must-read for everyone interested in understanding the history and present of the United States. Johannes Drerup, Professor of Education, Technical University of Dortmund, GermanyThere are few people in our globalized 21st century who have not heard of the American Dream. Fewer, however, have taken the opportunity to examine its meaning and fewer still its implications. The two volumes of Hauhart and Sardoč’s edited collection offer a comprehensive overview of what is an endlessly fascinating topic. Whether the reader is a historian, a professional in the social sciences or humanities, or simply a student inquiring into the American Dream, there is nowhere better to begin or continue one’s interest in the United States and its dominant cultural mythos than here.Oto Luthar, Director of the Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Slovenia
