ReviewsWhen Race Meets Class is a powerful ethnographic account that illuminates America's racial divide. It notes, documents, and explains the peculiar manner in which race and class become conflated, and form a conundrum that exacerbates the everyday lives of black people, while underscoring the nation's racial divide. Levine's narrative shines a brilliant and provocative light on these circumstances, revealing the peculiar everyday challenges black people face as they bear the burden of race and persistent poverty simultaneously -- this a work of importance, and one that should be read far beyond the academy. Elijah Anderson, Sterling Professor, Yale University, and author of Code of the Street and The Cosmopolitan Canopy When Race Meets Class provides a much-needed contribution to the understanding of how race, class, and gender reproduce inequality. The rich qualitative analyses show us in ways that few have done since Stack's All Our Kin that the disadvantages of race, class, and gender are not individual. Moreover, one has to look over the long run to understand what happens when race, class, and gender intersect. Understanding these dynamics is necessary in order to understand how inequality works. Nancy DiTomaso, Distinguished Professor, Rutgers Business School -- Newark and New Brunswick In the best tradition of classic ethnographies like Learning to Labor or Ain't No Makin It , Rhonda Levine's magnificent new book offers a compelling portrait of the lives of low-income African American adolescents growing up in a small Northeastern city that helps us to understand more about them but also much, much more about the society we live in. Intensely intersectional, When Race Meets Class , offers a sophisticated empirical study of race, class and gender dynamics, as they play out in the lives of the young people she follows, in the institutions they navigate, and within the larger structural arrangements of today's U.S. We are reminded not only that coming of age is hard but also that while some navigate adolescence with a wide range of developmentally appropriate supports - room to explore, grow, mess up, take risks and figure things out - many do not. In fact, the young people Levine writes about not only seldom receive this kind of consistent support but also must traverse a number of additional constraints. This book is a must read for anyone who wants to understand the how and the why of today's persistent racial inequality. Amanda Lewis , Professor of African American Studies, University of Illinois at Chicago, and author of Race in the School Yard In a rare study, Levine vividly conveys African-American students' experiences of racial marking by high school educators and other pivotal moments in their life paths. Poignant, illuminating, and very readable - an extraordinary longitudinal portrait of the power of race and class in a small city. Annette Lareau, author of Unequal Childhoods

SynopsisA rare, 15-year ethnography, this book follows the lives of individual, low-income African American youth from the beginning of high school into their early adult years. Levine shows how their interaction and experience with multiple institutions (family, school, community) and individuals (parents, friends, teachers, coaches, strangers) shape their hopes, fears, aspirations, and worldviews. The intersectionality of their social identities--how race, class, and gender come together to influence how they come to think about who they are--influences many behaviors that directly contradict their stated aspirations. Affected, too, by limited access to resources, these youths often take a path profoundly different from their stated values and life goals. Levine explores the volatility and constraints underlying their decision-making and behaviors. The book reveals the critical junctures and turning points shaping life trajectories, challenging many long-held assumptions about the persistence of racial inequality by offering new insights on the educational and occupational barriers facing young African Americans., A rare, 15-year ethnography, this book follows the lives of individual, low-income African American youth from the beginning of high school into their early adult years.
