Class is a particularly troublesome issue in the United States and
other rich capitalist societies. In this feminist analysis of
class, noted sociologist Joan Acker examines and assesses feminist
attempts to include white women and people of color in discussions
of class. She argues that class processes are shaped through
gender, race, and other forms of domination and inequality. Class
Questions: Feminist Answers outlines a theory of class as a set of
gendered and racialized processes in which people have unequal
control over and access to the necessities of life-processes
including production, distribution, and paid and unpaid labor.
Historically, gender and race-based inequalities were integral to
capitalism and they are still fundamental aspects of the class
system. Acker argues that capitalist organizations create gendered
and racialized class inequalities and outlines a conceptual scheme
for analyzing "inequality regimes" in organizations. Finally, the
book examines contemporary changes in work and employment and in
economic/political processes, including current events like
deregulation, downsizing, and off-shoring, that increase
inequalities and alter racialized and gendered class relations.
This book will appeal to readers interested in a feminist
discussion of class as a racialized and gendered process intimately
tied to the capitalist economic system.
