The Myth of the American Dream: Reflections on Affluence, Autonomy, Safety, and Power by D.L. Mayfield

4.0

I think the bad ratings must have come from those that felt convicted and guilty, and didn’t like that feeling. I saw others stating the book was not well researched, but that’s just not the case. There are numerous sources and footnotes to back up everything.

I found it to be beautifully written. The author gives us an inside look into stories of refugees and what they deal with in the American culture. She also debunks the myth of the American dream. Most of all, the book gives us inspiration to love our neighbor as ourself, as how Christ intended us to.
