Recenzii
Award: Nominated to be honoured at the Geographical Perspectives on Women (GPOW) Book Event at the 2010 Association of American Geographers Annual Meeting 'This book makes a significant contribution to the new class studies. With a nuanced analysis, it invites us to recognize the complexity of contemporary social intersections, but with clarity and focus. There is a range of excellent new empirical and critical material. Its fresh approach to knowledge, space and action creates a welcome counterpoint to the casual vilification of working class people.' Sally R. Munt, University of Sussex, UK 'While class is enjoying a revival in sociological and geographical analysis, the intersectional politics of class remains under-studied and under-theorized. Classed Intersections contains vibrant, insightful essays that interrogate the gender and sexual politics of class in a wide range of empirical and theoretical contexts. Taylor’s interdisciplinary collection is vital reading for anyone concerned with the intersectional politics of working-class lives.' Jon Binnie, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK

Descriere
Classed Intersections examines the salience, transformation and tension of class analysis at a crucial juncture when class investigation is returning to and reinventing sociological agendas. The contributors, including both established and emerging academics, examine class as produced through combined social, cultural and economic practices. They are clear not to reify class over and above other paradigms; instead a number of key intersections are foregrounded including gender, ethnicity and sexuality.
