The twelve 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 other. 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.
