Conclusion --Notes --References --IndexIn this ethnographic examination of Mexican-American and white girls coming of age in California's Central Valley, Julie Bettie turns class theory on its head, asking what cultural gestures are involved in the performance of class, and how class subjectivity is constructed in relationship to color, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality. A new introduction contextualizes the book for the contemporary moment and situates it within current directions in cultural theory. Investigating the cultural politics of how inequalities are both reproduced and challenged, Bettie examines the discursive formations that provide a context for the complex identity performances of contemporary girls. The book's title refers at once to young working-class women who have little cultural capital to enable class mobility; to the fact that analyses of class too often remain insufficiently transformed by feminist, ethnic, and queer studies; and to the failure of some feminist theory itself to theorize women as class subjects. Women without Class makes a case for analytical and political attention to class, but not at the expense of attention to other social formations.  Children, WhiteCaliforniaSan Francisco Bay AreaSocial conditions20th centuryTeenage girls, WhiteRace identityCaliforniaTeenage girls, WhiteCaliforniaSocial conditionsMexican American teenage girlsRace identityCaliforniaMexican American teenage girlsCaliforniaSocial conditionsanthropologist.california women.central valley.class performance.class theory.color.coming of age.contemporary movement.cultural reference.cultural theory.ethnicity.gender.historical context.income disparity.mexican-american women.sexuality.sociologists.theorists.white girls.Children, WhiteSocial conditionsTeenage girls, WhiteRace identityTeenage girls, WhiteSocial conditions.Mexican American teenage girlsRace identityMexican American teenage girlsSocial conditions.305.235097945Bettie Julie1616816MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910825404503321Women without class3947732UNINA
