Description
Reworking Class by John R. Hall This collection of twelve essays challenges traditional notions of class and its dynamics. Recent historical and intellectual developments require a reevaluation of basic assumptions about classes, argues author John R. Hall in his introduction. The contributors to this volume seek to understand the historically contingent ways in which economic interests are pursued under institutionally, socially, and culturally structured circumstances. They explore how classes are conceptualized, offer reflections on class identity, and examine the politics of class mobilizations and social movements in contexts of national and global economic change. By bringing together diverse approaches to class analysis, Hall proposes a new framework for understanding the complex relationships between economic interests and social structures.
