Review
Praise for previous editions:
“Working in America has been the backbone of my work courses since its publication. The articles and excerpts in this reader help my students understand work as a site where the inequalities of gender, race, class, and sexual orientation are recreated and perpetuated.”
―Kevin D. Henson, Loyola University Chicago
“[T]he book offers a variety of materials that allow me the flexibility to offer a broad scope and challenging class.”
―William T. Clute, University of Nebraska at Omaha
