Learning Capitalist Culture by Douglas E Foley

Learning Capitalist Culture by Douglas E Foley

Building on the author's thirty-six years of experience with North Town, Texas, this second edition presents an ethnographic study of the ways the town's youth learn traditional American values through participation in sports, membership in formal and informal social groups, dating, and interactions with teachers in the classroom.

"A fascinating study of the clash between Anglo and Hispanic cultures in South Texas as seen through the eyes of its youth" * Choice *
"Learning Capitalist Culture poses excellent questions and offers provocative theoretical possibilities." * American Journal of Sociology *
