Synopsis
Excerpt from Are There Classes in America?
NO argument is required to show that the introduction of slavery meant the introduction of caste and class. The slave and the slave owner did not belong to the same class. They were not social equals. They did not pass their time in each others' society; they did not live in the same kind of houses; they did not eat the same kind of food; they did not wear the same kind of clothing; the daughter Of the slave owner did not marry the son of the slave; nor did the daughter of the slave marry the son of the slave owner. The slave and the slave owner did not have equal rights; neither did they possess equal opportunities.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book concisely traces the development and character of class consciousness, particularly in America, from primitive societies to the modern day, arguing that the ideological divide between workers and capitalists is more important than their relative economic status. By drawing on the historical evolution of feudalism and capitalism, the author contends that the drive for profit has consistently led to the oppression of the working class by the capitalist class. By examining notable examples of labor unrest and struggle from across the world and throughout history, the author explains how these dynamics have shaped the historical development of class consciousness. In so doing, the book makes plain the political nature of the conflict between labor and capital and argues that only through collective political action can the working class free itself from exploitation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331430247_0
