Based primarily on ethnographic data, "Working Class without Work"
examines the identity formation process among white working-class
youth in the context of the de-industrialization of the American
economy. The elimination of many basic production jobs and the
expansion of the service sector have changed the expectations and
opportunities of the white working class. Weis documents the way in
which these young people respond to such changes, and the way they
help to create the conditions of their future lives. In the
process, she explores issues of race, class, gender and considers
the roles of school and family in the production of self.
