Class Reunion: The Remaking of the American White Working Class (Critical Social Thought)
Noted scholar Lois Weis first visited the town of "Freeway" in her 1990 book, <em>Working Class Without Work.</em> In that book we met the students and teachers of Freeway's high school to understand how these working-class folks made sense of their lives. Now, fifteen years later, Weis has gone back to Freeway for <em>Class Reunion.</em> This time her focus is on the now grown-up students who are, for the most part, still working class and now struggling to survive the challenges of the global economy. <br> <br> <em>Class Reunion</em> is a rare and valuable longitudinal ethnographic study that provides powerful, provocative insight into how the lives of these men and women have changed over the last two decades--and what their prospects might be for the future.
