Greetings!
Following up yesterday's discussion of class as economic power relations, I wanted to send citations for two short essays that try to establish this definition:
“Class and the History of Working People in the Early Republic,” Journal of the Early Republic 25 (Winter 2005): 527-535.
“The Contours of Class in the Early Republic City.” Labor: Studies in Working Class History of the Americas 1 (Winter 2004): 93-109.
I also thought you might be interested in seeing the program for a conference this coming fall in Philadelphia about Scraping By:
