Capital, Culture, and the Class of '58

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"New Jersey Dreaming" is certainly the most impressive of books on the American high school experience. It makes one of the most important sociological arguments in recent years on the dynamics of class in post-World War II American society, and it presents innovations and important strategies for anthropologists conducting research in and on American society."--George Marcus, author of "Ethnography through Thick and Thin"
