Working Class Without Work by Lois Weis

The author wxplores issues of race, class, and gender among white working class youths, and she considers the roles of school and family in the production of the self. The book also examines the working class teens' attitudes toward and readiness for postfeminist thinking and the emerging American New Right. Presenting the first sustained ethnographic investigation of white working class youth in the context of deindustrializatin, Weis offers a complex portrait of how these young people produce themselves in a society vastly different from that of their parents and grandparents.

Lois Weis is Professor of Sociology of Education and Associate Dean of the Faculty of Educational Studies at the State University of New York at Buffalo. She is also the author of Between Two Worlds (RKP).
