The contributors to Class Matters contest this demise. Although differing in their approaches, they all agree that socioeconomic inequality remains indispensable to a true understanding of the transition from the early modern to modern era in North America and the rest of the Atlantic world. As a whole, they chart the emergence of class as a concept and its subsequent loss of analytic purchase in Anglo-American historiography. The opening section considers the dynamics of class relations in the Atlantic world across the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries-from Iroquoian and Algonquian communities in North America to tobacco lords in Glasgow. Subsequent chapters examine the cultural development of a new and aspirational middle class and its relationship to changing economic conditions and the articulation of corporate and industrial ideologies in the era of the American Revolution and beyond. A final section shifts the focus to the poor and vulnerable-tenant farmers, infant paupers, and the victims of capital punishment. In each case the authors describe how elite Americans exercised their political and social power to structure the lives and deaths of weaker members of their communities. An impassioned afterword urges class historians to take up the legacies of historical materialism. Engaging the difficulties and range of meanings of class, the essays in Class Matters seek to energize the study of social relations in the Atlantic world. 410 0$aEarly American studies. 606 $aSocial stratification$zNorth America 606 $aSocial classes$zNorth America 607 $aNorth America$xSocial conditions 607 $aNorth America$xEconomic conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSocial stratification 615 0$aSocial classes 676 $a305.512097 702 $aMiddleton$b Simon$g(Simon David), 702 $aSmith$b Billy G$g(Billy Gordon), 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463702103321 996 $aClass matters$92456637 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01063nas 2200337 a 450 001 996212712003316 005 20231101153813.0 011 $a1366-5855 035 $a(CKB)954925268301 035 $a(CONSER) 86649798 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB2001843-5 035 $a(EXLCZ)99954925268301 100 $a19860721a19869999 uy a 101 0 $aeng 200 00$aLiquid crystals$b[electronic resource] 210 $aLondon ;$aPhiladelphia $cTaylor & Francis$dc1986- 215 $a1 online resource 300 $aTitle from cover. 300 $a"An international journal in the field of anisotropic fluids." 300 $aRefereed/Peer-reviewed 311 $aPrint version: Liquid crystals.
