Reviews for Women without Class: Girls, Race, and Identity
"Julie Bettie's book is interesting because it looks at the intersection between class, race and gender in the sphere of education in terms of gestures and performance of 'class'... The interdisciplinary orientation of Bettie's book coupled with its combination of theoretical and empirical balance makes it a worthy read."
