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. 410 0$aCulture, labor, history. 606 $aPoverty$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWorking class$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSocial classes$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aInvestigative reporting$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSocial classes in mass media 615 0$aPoverty$xHistory 615 0$aWorking class$xHistory 615 0$aSocial classes$xHistory 615 0$aInvestigative reporting$xHistory 615 0$aSocial classes in mass media. 676 $a305.50973 700 $aPittenger$b Mark$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01505443 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785540403321 996 $aClass Unknown$93735018 997 $aUNINA
