Opis

The book shows how class has not disappeared, but is known and spoken in a myriad of different ways, always working through other categorizations of nation, race, gender and sexuality.

Recenzje

'The book offers a selection of carefully written but comprehensive analyses and interpretations that demystify the notions of class, self and culture and contextualize their meanings in the contemporary moment.' - Autobiography Journal
