1.5 HU, 1.5 SS, CD, WR New Course Added 10/10/2006
“Middle class” is one of the most commonly shared terms among conservatives, liberals, and radicals in the U.S. Why do we need this concept? Who has been defining it? How has it been defined? This course will examine the making of the middle class ideology in the U.S. We will also explore how race, gender, sexuality, and globalization of capitalism are
complicating and challenging this ideology.
