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

Did not finish book. Stopped at 57%.
The author had some good, thought-provoking points, but she constantly muddled her message with overwhelming white guilt. Owning your privilege is good, especially when bringing to light the economic disparities that exist in our country, but constantly bemoaning it and acting like it is a sin to find joy amidst suffering defeated what I felt was the purpose of this entire book.
