The Wages of Whiteness: Race and the Making of the American Working Class
Tough to comment on so hard on the heels of finishing it. Marxist interpretations of racial formation can be a little tough to handle. I think a lot of people struggle to digest Roediger for a variety of reasons. Some people don't want to talk about race at all. Some people don't want to talk about whiteness in particular. Some people think Marxist interpretations of race come off as dispassionate, or just flat out misguided. It's certainly a germinal text (if not _the_) in whiteness studies, so anyone interested in American racial formation and theory should read it; the same goes for anyone curious about whiteness studies. It's a complex read though, particularly for anyone not accustomed to reading labor history. It is definitely worth giving a crack (or several -- it probably takes several reads, in companion with other works on race & whiteness to get somewhere with this text).
