MacLeod's 1987 work, ground-breaking for the way it combines field research with theory, follows the lives of two groups of young men from a low-income housing project in the Boston area to show how poor people who aspire to live the American Dream face many more obstacles than their middle-class counterparts.

Dr Anna Seiferle-Valencia holds a PhD in anthropology from Harvard. She was formerly curator of Latin American Art at the Tuscon Museum of Art, Arizona.
