Book Description
"Whether in regard to the economy or issues of war and peace, class is
central to our everyday lives. Yet class has not been as visible as race or
gender, not nearly as much a part of our conversations and sense of
ourselves as these and other 'identities.' We are of course all
individuals, but our individuality and personal life chances are
shaped?limited or enhanced?by the economic and social class in which we
have grown up and in which we exist as adults."?from the Introduction
The contributors to this volume argue that class identity in the United
States has been hidden for too long. Their essays, published here for the
first time, cover the relation of class to race and gender, to
globalization and public policy, and to the lives of young adults. They
describe how class, defined in terms of economic and political power rather
than income, is in fact central to Americans' everyday lives. What's Class
Got to Do with It? is an important resource for the new field of working
class studies.
