• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Classed Intersections examines the salience, transformation and tension of class analysis at a crucial juncture when class investigation is returning to and reinventing sociological agendas. The contributors, including both established and emerging academics, examine class as produced through combined social, cultural and economic practices. They are clear not to reify class over and above other paradigms; instead a number of key intersections are foregrounded including gender, ethnicity and sexuality.
