The New Politics of Class by Klaus Eder
Klaus Eder offers a new perspective on the status of class in modernity. He outlines a cultural conception of class as the basis for understanding contemporary societies. His model re-evaluates the role of the middle classes and links class to social theories of power and cultural capital.
`Addresses important questions and has some interesting things to say about them.. [the book] is a `sampler′ of the work of a social theorist who is already influential in Germany.... Eder is clearly an astute and well-informed analyst′ - Theory, Culture & Society
`Eder makes a significant contribution to the development of a theory of social movements which avoids the reductive tendencies of Marxism while at the same time allowing us to perceive the new social movements as more than free floating interest groups... Eder′s essays are theoretically rigorous and innovative′ - Political Studies
`Provides a good occasion to get to know this important German sociologist.... Eder′s theorizing is very rich, full of provocative conceptual ideas and sound insights′ - American Journal of Sociology
`Eder′s work is systematic, rigorous and an important statement of the NSM (New Social Movements) approach′ - Choice
Klaus Eder has written extensively on class, social movements and social structure. He is author of the New Politics of Class (SAGE 1993).
