Joanna Kadi's clear prose strikes out powerfully against the dominance of the upper class in all spheres of life. She offers a personal and analytical look at how oppression by class intersects with oppression by race, gender, and sexuality. Examining the elite's supposed hegemony over intellectual work, Thinking Class rejects the idea that the working class is the non-thinking class, and affirms the culture that springs up, beautiful and honest, from this society's true base.In language both lyrical and sardonic, this working-class scholar examines subjects ranging from country music to cultural appropriation, from working-class ideals to Disney icons, in a forthright and poetic rendering that is sure to appeal to all those interested in American culture, feminism, and ethnic studies.
