A provocative and innovative book! Politicians pontificate on 'class warfare,' yet know little about class realities that savvy social scientist Diana Kendall probes in depth. With a critical eye, Kendall assesses the validity of media framing of upper, middle, and working class Americans' lives, past and present. Remarkably little studied in contemporary social science and investigative journalism, U.S. class images and experiences finally get the in-depth and comparative attention they deserve. -- Feagin, Joe Framing Class explains how media shape our (mis)conceptions of the class structure. An insightful, gracefully written, and entertaining book. -- Gilbert, Dennis The second edition of Framing Class is a real find! Ideal for classroom use: comprehensive, accessible, and engaging. -- Ferber, Abby L.
