This project explored the subjective experiences of five upwardly mobile professional African American men who originated from urban poverty using a case study methodology. The study attempted to gain a deeper understanding of the experiences of moving in between socially constructed positions. The men in this study moved from growing up in poverty to being professionals in a new social class. The participants all shared experiences of overcoming tremendous odds to achieve their upward mobility. This process included certain allegiances and rejections of socially constructed notions about themselves. For example, they all performed socially constructed ways of being masculine; however, they vigorously rejected the social constructions associated with urban, black men, such as ineptitude and aggression. Their experiences of being different from their assigned performance imperatives fostered certain difficulties in belongingness. Many of the participants expressed feeling out of place in mainstream America, yet treated with unfamiliarity in their original social contexts. All of the participants engaged in certain negotiations to be able to live in ways that felt ambitious and meaningful, and simultaneously still found ways to remain connected to important others.
