Alfred Lubrano's new book is titled
Limbo: Blue-Collar Roots, White-Collar Dreams. The book explores the crisis of identity suffered by the first generation of a family to enter college. The parents may push to get their children into college, but neither parents or children may be adequately prepared for the cultural rift that emerges.
Alfred Lubrano talks about Limbo on NPR. The book is available from
Powells.
