Applying an original theoretical framework, an international
group of historians and social scientists here explores how class,
rather than other social bonds, became central to the ideologies,
dispositions, and actions of working people, and how this process
was translated into diverse institutional legacies and political
outcomes. Focusing principally on France. Germany, and the United
States, the contributors examine the historically contingent
connections between class, as objectively structured and
experienced, and collective perceptions and responses as they
develop in work, community, and politics.
Following Ira Katznelson's introduction of the analytical
concepts, William H. Sewell, Jr., Michelle Perrot, and Alain
Cottereau discuss France; Amy Bridges and Martin Shefter, the
United States; and Jargen Kocka and Mary Nolan, Germany. The
conclusion by Aristide R. Zolberg comments on working-class
formation up to World War I, including developments in Great
Britain, and challenges conventional wisdom about class and
politics in the industrializing West.
