Movements for social change could be more powerful if they had more class diversity—a factor that has limited their past size and clout. But attempting to cross class barriers has frequently left middle-class activists frustrated, with few resources to turn to for help. Based on interviews with 40 diverse activists and thinkers, Class Matters fills this gap by demystifying this taboo topic. A guide to building bridges across class lines and collaborating more effectively in mixed-class social change efforts, it is designed in lively, highly readable short “bites,” full of stories, ideas,

"The Stamp of Class" is about reading poetry with an awareness of class and its themes. While numerous works have taken up the question of race and gender as they relate to literary creation, no single book has probed the interplay between class and American poetry. The nine essays in Gary Lenhart’s book deal with the question of class as reflected in the works of Tracie Morris, Tillie Olsen, Melvin Tolson, William Carlos Williams, Walt Whitman, and others. The work is rooted in the author’s own experiences as a working-class poet and teacher, and is the result of more than a decad

The middle class of the northern industrial towns played a key role in economic development and the creation of a class society. This book draws upon a computer-based nominal record linkage to show the complex economic and social structure of that middle class. Party and sectarian loyalties disrupted class formation, whilst the stability of social relations and family strategies was disrupted by the nature of the market economy, and by working-class trade-union and political challenge. The middle classes built their own culture and relations with other social classes through a network of volun
