Does class and race change the course of our lives?  Annette Lareau studied African American and white families to understand the impact of how social class makes a difference in children's lives.  10 years later, Lareau revisited these families to examine the impact of social class as these children became adults.

Looking at pathways each of their lives had followed, Annette says "their lives had diverged in a profound way" and she wrote about the influence of class and race on their lives in the second edition of her book Unequal Childhoods.

In this episode, we talk to Annette about the impact, benefit and disadvantages that social class has on our education and life - who we will marry, where we will live and how we find jobs.
