Calling for a broader new approach to social mobility research which goes beyond statistics and utilizes life stories and family case histories, this richly suggestive volume explores sociological issues such as transmission between family generations, how immigrants make good, how socialelites survive revolutions, and the meanings of houses, places and dreams for mobility.
