"Self-esteem and personal legitimacy are attributes ineradicably tied to the struggle for economic survival and an individual's structural position within society. Inmaking human dignity the focus of careful, insightful analysis, The Hidden Injuries of Class takes an important step forward in the sociological critique of everyday life. In this intreprid, groundbreaking book, Richard Sennett and Jonathan Cobb uncover and define a new form of class conflict in America. It is an internal conflict in the hearts and minds of blue-collar workers who measure their own value against those whose lives and occupations on which society places a premium. The authors conclude that in games of hierarchial respect, no class can emerge the victor. True egalitarianism can be achieved only by rediscovering diverse concepts of human dignity. This edition of a classic work includes a new introduction by Richard Sennett examining how the injuries of class persist in new forms in the twenty-first century" --
