我们使用交叉性的概念来探讨社会阶层和向上流动的心理意义，在生活中的非洲裔美国人。在整个过程中，我们特别关注教育的背景，许多美国黑人认为这是他们向上流动的最大希望。与三个主题相关的文献进行了回顾和讨论：（一）黑人社区内的阶级划分的历史和意义，（B）教育机构作为向上流动的入口的经验，以及（c）流动的隐藏成本。有人建议，未来的研究应解决的交叉点，性别与阶级和种族，阶级的相关性，种族身份，和美国黑人之间的向下流动的经验。
We use the concept of intersectionality to explore the psychological meaning of social class and upward mobility in the lives African Americans. Throughout, we pay special attention to the context of education, a site which many Black Americans feel represents their best hope for upward mobility. Literature related to three themes is reviewed and discussed: (a) the history and significance of class divisions within the Black community, (b) experiences of educational institutions as entryways to upward mobility, and (c) the hidden costs of mobility. It is suggested that future research should address the intersection of gender with class and race, the relevance of class to racial identity, and the experience of downward mobility among Black Americans.
