From the Back Cover
Late to Class presents theoretical, empirical, and pedagogical perspectives on social class and schooling in the United States. Grounding their analyses at the intersections of class, ethnicity, gender, geography, and schooling, the contributors examine the educational experiences of poor, working class, and middle class students against the backdrop of complicated class stratification in a shifting global economy. Together, they explore the salience of class in understanding the social, economic, and cultural landscapes within which young people in the United States come to understand the meaning of their formal education in times of changing opportunity.
"...one of the most important characteristics of the book ... is its attempt to answer the question of `What is to be done?' By taking seriously the issue of `emancipatory' pedagogies (the plural is crucial here), [the authors] ... are not satisfied with bearing witness to negativity--although this is a crucial act for researchers to engage in. They also want to open the spaces for possible interruption and intervention. As I have argued at length elsewhere, this is one of the more significant roles that critical scholars can play in a time of conservative attacks on everything we hold dear ... this is a book that deserves our attention." -- from the Foreword by Michael W. Apple
"Anyone who reads this volume will find it difficult to deny the many ways in which class can shape and be shaped by the experiences of children in schools. This is a groundbreaking book." -- Cynthia Gerstl-Pepin, coauthor of Re-framing Educational Politics for Social Justice
