Reviews

[Minäpäminä]

A decent introduction to the concept and study of class in social sciences and a much needed (though perhaps a bit too timid) proclamation of its continued relevance.

[Niebieskie Pudlo]

A really helpful and accessibly written summary of the current discussions around the definitions of class and its relevance for contemporary research and analysis.
