Description

Explore the complex and often contradictory history of the American middle class through this collection of compelling essays from Routledge. Rather than accepting the popular myth that all Americans fit neatly into a single "middle class" category, this book challenges rigid definitions and fixed frameworks by emphasising multiplicity and historical change. The essays examine how the 'middle sorts' navigated the intersection of democracy and ambition, morality and consumption, entrepreneurial values and corporate ideals, and the sacred and the secular. By recovering overlooked dimensions of class in America, this work provides essential context for understanding how the middle class emerged, evolved, and shaped American society. Ideal for students, scholars, and readers interested in social and cultural history.

Key Features

Essays from Routledge challenge conventional definitions of the American middle class and emphasise historical complexity rather than rigid categories.

Explores how middle-class identity balanced competing values including democracy, ambition, morality, and entrepreneurial spirit across different eras.

Covers social and cultural history of American class formation with emphasis on change and diversity over time.

Provides essential historical context for understanding how the 'middle sorts' shaped American society and consumer culture.

Scholarly collection suitable for history students, academics, and readers interested in American social and economic development.
