Full of stories, ideas, quotations, tips and resources, it discusses frankly the politics of class, what gets in the way of cross-class alliances, and how effective alliances can be built. Of interest to people from all classes, it will appeal especially to middle-class progressive activists for whom it may be an eye-opening and exhilarating experience."--BOOK JACKET.
