The 12 essays in this volume propose new directions in the analysis
of class. John R. Hall argues that recent historical and
intellectual developments require reworking basic assumptions about
classes and their dynamics. The contributors effectively abandon
the notion of a transcendent class struggle. They seek instead to
understand the historically contingent ways in which economic
interests are pursued under institutionally, socially and
culturally structured circumstances. In his introduction, Hall
proposes a neo-Weberian venue intended to bring the most promising
contemporary approaches to class analysis into productive exchange
with one another. Some of the chapters that follow rework how
classes are conceptualized. Others offer historical and
sociological reflections on questions of class identity. A third
cluster focuses on the politics of class mobilizations and social
movements in contexts of national and global economic change.
