The Class Structure of Capitalist Societies, Volume 4

Singular Experiences of Family, Work and Leisure

About this book

This fourth volume of The Class Structure of Capitalist Societies finishes the series by exploring how class infuses people's past and present efforts to juggle family, work and leisure.

Previous volumes in the series have examined the shape, history and cultural expressions of class structures in capitalist societies as well as their typical intersections with gender, race/ ethnicity, family and more. Now, drawing on in depth interviews with men and women from the US, Sweden and Germany, this instalment endeavours to show how class actually 'works out' in people's biographies and circumstances, and how, thereby, it is given singular form in their lives. Key to understanding how class works and how it is singularised, the book demonstrates, is its interplay with pressures and interests tied up with family, paid employment and leisure. New concepts and tools, it argues, are necessary to accommodate this multiplicity and, as a result, explain people's lives more fully, advance our understanding of class and even progress the capacities of sociology as a discipline.

The volume will be of major interest to scholars of class, family, work, gender and culture, but it will also appeal to anyone interested in social theory and the progress of sociology.
