The new working-class studies is not only about the labor movement, or about workers of any particular kind, or workers in any particular place - even in the workplace. Instead, we ask questions about how class works for people at work, at home, and in the community. We explore how class both unites and divides working-class people, which highlights the importance of understanding how class shapes and is shaped by race, gender, ethnicity, and place. We reflect on the common interests as well as the divisions between the most commonly imagined version of the working class - industrial, blue-collar workers - and workers in the 'new economy' whose work and personal lives seem, at first glance, to place them solidly in the middle class. - from the Introduction Author InformationJohn Russo is Professor of Labor Studies, Coordinator of the Labor Studies Program, and Co-Director of the Center for Working-Class Studies at Youngstown State University.
