Class Counts Student Edition Paperback / softback
by Erik Olin (University of Wisconsin, Madison) Wright
Part of the Studies in Marxism and Social Theory series
Paperback / softback
Description
This textbook provides students with a lively and penetrating exploration of the concept of class and its relevance for understanding a wide range of issues in contemporary society.
Erik Olin Wright treats class as a common explanatory factor and examines three broad themes: class structure, class and gender, and class consciousness.
Specific empirical studies include such diverse topics as class variations in the gender division of labour in housework; friendship networks across class boundaries; the American class structure since 1960; and cross-national variations in class consciousness.
The author evaluates these studies in the light of expectations within the Marxist tradition of class analysis.
This Student Edition of Class Counts thus combines Wright's sophisticated account of central and enduring questions in social theory with practical analyses of detailed social problems.
