Description
Book SynopsisIn a valuable addition to the debate on the nature of contemporary working-class culture, Thomas Dunk shows that the function and meaning of gender, ethnicity, popular leisure activities, and common-sense knowledge are intimately linked with the way an individual's experience is structured by class.
Trade Review"This well-written, revealing, and cogently argued community study adds to the knowledge of social inequality based on class, race, and gender." D.A. Chekki, Choice. "Dunk builds a strong interplay between the mundane and common-sense social practices with structural issues such as sexism, racism, cultural hegemony, and resistance ... A strong case is made illustrating how important leisure practices are for understanding the interplay between culture and consciousness." Bill O'Grady, Critical Sociology.
