ITEM OVERVIEW
The Wages of Whiteness provides an original study of the formative years of working-class racism in the United States. In an afterword to this second edition, Roediger discusses recent studies of whiteness and the changing face of labor itself. He surveys criticism of his work, accepting many such criticisms while challenging others, especially the view that the study of working-class racism implies a rejection of Marxism and radical politics. Revised and expanded, this classic work includes now a new preface from the author, and an introduction by Kathleen Cleaver
