Description

Class and Its Others by J. K. Gibson-Graham, Stephen A. Resnick, and Richard D. Wolff offers a fresh perspective on class, long overdue in social theory. This book provides new approaches to understanding class, exploring topics such as sex work, domestic labor, and blue- and white-collar workers. The authors examine how individuals participate in various class relations at different times and how class identities are complex and multifaceted. The essays in the book focus on class difference, transformation, and change, as well as its intersection with other aspects of identity such as race, gender, sexuality, and more. By looking beyond traditional notions of class, the authors reveal class politics in everyday settings, including households, parent-child relationships, and self-employment. This book will prompt a rethinking of class and class subjectivity, expanding social theory to include new perspectives on this important topic.
