<p> Using an innovative framework, <i>Class: The Anthology</i> examines the most important and influential writings on modern class relations. It brings together more than 30 selections rich in theory and empirical detail that span the working, middle, and capitalist classes. <p> The editors use an interdisciplinary approach that combines scholarship from political economy, social history, and cultural studies. By bridging these three distinct traditions, they position the question of class within the larger theoretical framework of work and labor. The selections address the major historical events and developments within class relations in the US and also internationally. They illuminate important insights about the relationship between workers and capitalism, as well as key issues at the intersection of class, race, and gender. This new conception of class allows readers to make sense of modern class relations as well as the current crisis in the global capitalist system, from the Occupy Wall Street Movement to the explosion of Arab Spring and the emergence of class conflict in China.
