Description
"Lois Weis captures the complexities and contradictions of life in white working-class families at the turn of the 21st century. In a richly theorized but highly readable text, she illuminates how raced, classed, and gendered identities are shaped by changes in the U.S. political economy. An important book!" -Jean Anyon.
First Sentence
White male adolescent working-class identity in Freeway is forged along three primary axes: (1) an emerging contradictory code of respect toward school knowledge and culture not in evidence in key previous studies of white working-class male youth; (2) a set of virulently patriarchal constructions of home/family life which position future wives in particular kinds of subordinate relationships; and (3) constructed notions of African Americans and Yemenites ("Arabians"), which are intensely racist and which split along distinct gender lines.
