It draws on ethnographic data gathered at two points in time in order to interrogate the relation of macro-economic and social relations on individual and group identities; to excavate the social psychological relations‘between’genders and races, as narrated by white working-class men; and to explore the nuanced variations among these men . Addressing theoretical, empirical and methodological issues associated with these studies, I argue that the remaking of the white working class can only be understood in relation to gendered constructions within itself, the construction of relevant ‘others’, as well as deep shifts in large social formations.  \nIntroduction  \nAmidst cries of ‘farewell to the working class’ (Gorz 1982), and the assertion of the complete eclipse of this class given the lack of ‘direct representations of the interaction among workers in American television’ (Aronowitz 1992, p. 194), I offer Class Reunion (Weis, forthcoming a) – a volume targeting and explicating theremaking of the American white working class in the latter quarter of the twentieth century. Arguing that we cannot write off the white working class simply because white men no longer have access to well paying labouring jobs in the primary labour market (Edwards 1979), jobs which spawned a distinctive place for labour in the capital–labour accord (Hunter 1987, Apple 2001), or assume that this class can only be understood as a tapestry that works easily across ethnicity, race and gender (Bettie 2003), I explore empirically and longitudinally the remaking of this class both discursively and behaviourally inside radical, globally based economic restructuring (Reich 1991, 2002) .  \nBeginning in 1985 with my ethnographic investigation of Freeway High ( Working Class Without Work: High School Students in a De-Industrializing Economy: Weis  \nThe Australian Educational Researcher, Volume 30, Number 3, December 2003 •111  \nLOIS WEIS  \n1990), and culminating with intensive follow-up interviews with these same students in 2000–2001, I track a group of the sons and daughters of the workers of ‘Freeway Steel’ over a fifteen-year time period. The original volume – Working Class Without Work – explored identity formation among American white working-class male and female students in relation to the schools, economy and family of origin, capturing the complex relations among secondary schooling, human agency and the formation of collective consciousness within a radically changing economic and social context. I suggested in the volume that young women exhibited a ‘glimmer of critique’ regarding traditional gender roles in the working-class family and that young men were ripe for New Right consciousness given their strident racism and male dominant stance in an economy that, like that immortalised in the justly celebrated The Full Monty and the BBC serial The Missing Postman (Walkerdine, Lacey and Melody 2001), offers them little.  \nNow, fifteen years later I return to these same students as they (and we) meet in Class Reunion, a study firmly lodged in what Michelle Fine and I call ‘compositional studies’(Weis and Fine, forthcoming)– a theory of method in which analyses of public and private institutions, groups and lives are lodged in relation to key economic and social structures. Through a careful look at the high school and young adult years (ages 18–31) of the sons and daughters of the industrial proletariat in the northeast ‘rust belt’of the United States, I track the remaking of this class through careful and explicit attention to issues that swirl around theories of whiteness, masculinity, representationsand the new economy. Fine and I have put forward a triplet of theoretical and analytic moves as a signature of our work (Weis and Fine, forthcomi","cbCaikptVqcx2YNS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikptVqcx2YNS","pdf",106731,"English","# Introduction\n## Changing economies, changing gender","[{\"question\":\"What does the paper study about white working-class masculinities?\",\"answer\":\"It examines how white working-class masculinities were remade in the latter quarter of the twentieth century, linking gendered constructions to broader economic and social shifts.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the author gather data for the study?\",\"answer\":\"The analysis draws on ethnographic data gathered at two points in time, with follow-up interviews conducted in 2000–2001 after an initial investigation begun in 1985.\"},{\"question\":\"What theoretical focus guides the paper’s method?\",\"answer\":\"The work emphasizes compositional studies, combining deep analysis within a group over time, relational analyses among bordering groups, and structural connections to economic and political arrangements.\"}]","Gender, Masculinity and the New Economy - Abstract | PDF",1792077219,48]
