"To my knowledge, there are no books that offer a wide and diverse set of readings on work experience in America." Stephen Sweet , Ithaca College "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 "The book offers a variety of materials that allow me the flexibility to offer a broad scope and challenging class." William T.
