The American Nightmare: Keep Dreaming, Kid

How the American Dream became a global slogan just as the American good life came apart at home

Black book cover for The American Nightmare with tall ivory title text, a thin red heartbeat line, Keep Dreaming Kid, and Robert V. Ussley.

About the book

The American Nightmare: Keep Dreaming, Kid follows the American Dream from its older domestic form into a newer global form that treated America as a platform for anyone from anywhere to rise.

The book is not an argument that immigrants caused the nightmare. It is an argument about timing, symbolism, political economy, citizenship, and the difference between a door and a house.
