On June 18, 1958, 304 classmates, including this ethnographer, marched down the aisle of the auditorium of Weequahic High School in Newark, New Jersey, to receive their high school diplomas.
From the rear cover
"New Jersey Dreaming" is certainly the most impressive of books on the American high school experience. It makes one of the most important sociological arguments in recent years on the dynamics of class in post-World War II American society, and it presents innovations and important strategies for anthropologists conducting research in and on American society."--George Marcus, author of "Ethnography through Thick and Thin"
