Politics and the Class Divide: Working People and the Middle Class Left
(Part of the Labor and Social Change Series)
Examines the impact of class status on an individual's participation or non-participation in the political process. Focusing on the relative absence of white working-class involvement in many contemporary US liberal and left social movements, this title goes straight to the source: members of the working class and activists in various movements.

Interesting Research, Thought Provoking Conlusions
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
An excellent read for anyone who considers themselves a member of the American left. The author offers important considerations for all activists who think they are doing the right thing. Croteau carefully describes how far the middle class left and the working class have drifted from each other. The conclusions he draws are well thought out and, at times, surprising. The research methods that he uses are interesting and thought provoking. Croteau does nothing to conceal his biases; it was nice to read a book by someone so up front about his goals.
