American Perception of Class - gebrauchtes Buch

They have not been so beguiled by images of a classless society that they can no longer recognize the divide that separates them from their middle class and corporate bosses; nor have they been swallowed up by an affluent middle class; and they have not been so divided by racial and ethnic loyalties, or gender specific interests that they have forgotten their common class position. Finally, the book suggests a new approach to class conflict in America, one not based on the psychology of the American worker, but on the strength of American business and its capacity to overwhelm or redirect any challenge from below. No other working class has faced such a formidable opponent. Reeve Vanneman is Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Maryland at College Park.
