In the 21st century hardly any aspects of human existence are left un¬
explored by postmodern theories and discourses of subjectivity and indivi¬
duality, of
hybridity
and identity, of race, gender and ethnicity. Conspicuous,
however, among these critical inquiries is the relatively little attention de¬
voted to the category of class. This absence is particularly alarming at a
time when neo-liberalism and post-capitalism feed on cultural fragmen¬
tation and ideological relativism. The contributions in Considering Class:
Essays on the Discourse of the American Dream address the
(dys)
functional position of class in American socio-political and cultural reality
from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. While it is open to debate
whether class is more resistant to being relativized than other categories,
there is increasing recognition that class remains a critical category with
the potential to transcend the rifts and divisions that run along lines of
race, ethnicity and gender, and with the potential to reconfigure the current
American political landscape. |
