商品簡介
Acker (sociology, U. of Oregon) argues that class and capitalism are influenced by gender and race throughout history and that recent changes, such as the decrease in manufacturing jobs and increase in service-oriented ones, have increased class inequalities. Taking a socialist/Marxist feminist approach, she explores problems with including gender in class discussions but leaving race out, economic processes and practices that produce class inequality, the role of US capitalism, the effect of work organizations on class concepts, and recommendations for changing this disparity.
