""Class Issues" reminds us that university intellectuals work in
knowledge factories; that the factories produce engines of
dominance; and that, therfore, sabotage has to be the order of the
day. The essays state their cases with elegance, with thoroughness,
and with economical precision. No one interested in addressing his
or her mite of effort to transforming the world can afford to
ingore this book."

The university classroom has been turned into an intensely
bitter battlefield. Conservatives are attacking the academy's
ability to teach, and at times its very right to educate. As the
dust begins to settle, the contributors to this volume weigh in
with a constructive and wide-ranging statement on the progressive
possibilities of teaching. This is, in many ways, a book for the
morning after the PC Wars, when the shouting dies down and the
imperatives of pedagogy remain.
Asserting a complex, inter-related agenda for teachers and
students, "Class Issues" is an anthology of essays on radical
teaching. Leading scholars of literary and cultural studies, queer
studies, ethnic studies and working-class literature examine the
challenges that confront progressive pedagogy, as well as the
histories that lie behind the achievements of cultural studies.
"Class Issues" offers a plan for the construction of an alternative
public sphere in the rapidly changing space of the classroom in the
academy.
"Class Issues" is a compilation of important new work on the
tradition of radical teaching as well as forceful suggestions for
the mobilization of radical consciousness.
