Book Synopsis
"One of America's foremost scholars of work, class, and education at the top of his game."-Catherine Prendergast, University of Illinois, Champaign/Urbana

Trade Review
"No, classes haven't disappeared in the United States. But they certainly don't operate the way they did 150 or even 50 years ago. In this original and timely book, noted scholar and teacher Evan Watkins uses vocational education as a lens to focus on the dramatic changes that are currently taking place in the areas of work, choice, and higher education, which have led to new processes of class formation. He also shows how, if we challenge the assumptions about the magic of the economy, those of us who work in postsecondary education--including, and perhaps especially, the humanities--have a unique opportunity to "use where we are" to bring into being a social world without exploitation." -- -David F. Ruccio University of Notre Dame "A crucial new work from one of our leading theorists." -- -Jeffrey Nealon Pennsylvania State University "One of America's foremost scholars of work, class, and education at the top of his game." -- -Catherine Prendergast University of Illinois, Champaign/Urbana
