 | | | | Class Work-Mothers involvement in their children's primary schooling.docx This book reveals the central importance of the work of mothering in the reproduction and maintenance of class inequalities. It demonstrates how class is played out in the educational work and support that is primarily the province of women. It is based on a substantive ethnographic study of two London primary schools and focuses on mothers of year five children. Developing a feminist reworking of Pierre Bourdieu's social theory, the book argues for a more sophisticated understanding of social class, one that recognises difference and diversity within social classes as well as between them. |

| White Middle-Class Identities.docx Decades of neo-liberal reforms have established a market in secondary schooling, where 'choice' and 'diversity' are expected to drive up standards and maximize individual responsibility.

What are their motives, and how do they experience the choice? What is it like for the young people themselves? Where do they end up? And what does all this show us about contemporary white middle class identity and its formation? This ... |

| Black Farmers' General and Gendered Strikes Against the USDA This paper analyzes the role of Black agrarians in resisting systemic racism within the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). My central argument is the class-action lawsuit, Pigford et. al., v. Glickman, levied by Black farmers against the USDA in 1997 was a "general strike," a term coined by example of what W.E.B.
