In this first, sweeping study of undercover investigations of work and poverty in America, award-winning historian Mark Pittenger examines how intellectuals were shaped by their experiences with the poor, and how despite their sympathy toward working-class people, they unintentionally helped to develop the contemporary concept of a degraded and "other" American underclass. While contributing to our understanding of the history of American social thought, Class Unknown offers a new perspective on contemporary debates over how we understand and represent our own society and its class divisions. 001479589 538__ $$aMode of access: Internet via World Wide Web. 001479589 546__ $$aIn English. 001479589 5880_ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 18.
