Rachel Heiman, Assistant Professor of Anthropology at The New School, will write a book on the middle class paradox of the 1990s: the dramatic escalation of what defines the suburban American dream at the same time that the possibilities of achieving the dream diminished. Based on fieldwork in a suburban New Jersey town, the book will address class anxiety in suburban America.
