Working Class Without Work
High School Students in A De-Industrializing Economy
Overview
The author explores issues of race, class, and gender among white working class youths, and she considers the roles of school and family in the production of the self.
The book also examines the working class teens' attitudes toward and readiness for postfeminist thinking and the emerging American New Right.
Presenting the first sustained ethnographic investigation of white working class youth in the context of deindustrialization, Weis offers a complex portrait of how these young people produce themselves in a society vastly different from that of their parents and grandparents.
