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\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47889235607703,"sku":"9780190854041","price":10150.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780190854041.webp?v=1781175136","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/privilege-lost-who-leaves-the-upper-middle-class-and-how-they-fall-9780190854041","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
