In general, anyone may accomplish it, however, whites, both historically and contemporarily, tend to have a better chance of doing so.
The first part of the thesis is dedicated to the definition of the American Dream and who may achieve it. Throughout the analysis conducted within this thesis, the failure of the American Dream was the main focus of discussion, both within literature and historically. These books include the following: Volkswagen Blues by Jacques Poulin, On the Road by Jack Kerouac, Une histoire américaine by Jacques Godbout and Detroit: An American Autopsy by Charlie LeDuff.
This thesis investigates the failure of the American Dream through historical contexts, in particular that pertaining to African-American history, as well as by way of a corpus comprised of four main books, two by Québécois authors and two by American authors.
