The Routledge International Handbook of Working-Class Studies is a
timely volume that provides an overview of this interdisciplinary
field that emerged in the 1990s in the context of
deindustrialization, the rise of the service economy, and economic
and cultural globalization. The Handbook brings together scholars,
teachers, activists, and organizers from across three continents to
focus on the study of working-class peoples, cultures, and politics
in all their complexity and diversity. The Handbook maps the
current state of the field and presents a visionary agenda for
future research by mingling the voices and perspectives of founding
and emerging scholars. In addition to a framing Introduction and
Conclusion written by the co-editors, the volume is divided into
six sections: Methods and principles of research in working-class
studies; Class and education; Work and community; Working-class
cultures; Representations; and Activism and collective action. Each
of the six sections opens with an overview that synthesizes
research in the area and briefly summarizes each of the chapters in
the section. Throughout the volume, contributors from various
disciplines explore the ways in which experiences and
understandings of class have shifted rapidly as a result of
economic and cultural globalization, social and political changes,
and global financial crises of the past two decades. Written in a
clear and accessible style, the Handbook is a comprehensive
interdisciplinary anthology for this young but maturing field,
foregrounding transnational and intersectional perspectives on
working-class people and issues and focusing on teaching and
activism in addition to scholarly research. It is a valuable
resource for activists, as well as working-class studies
researchers and teachers across the social sciences, arts, and
humanities, and it can also be used as a textbook for advanced
undergraduate or graduate courses.
