"Roediger goes too far, I think, in emphasizing class at the expense of race--particularly given the historical period in focus here--but there's no denying that this is an important book."
"For someone who has issues with David Roediger, I've read more than one of this books/anthologies.
This is a very interesting narrative on how class-based inequalities during the early independence period in US history became increasingly racialized by the need of poor white folks to differentiate themselves from poor black folks.
While it's quite a depressing read, it's worth noting that it contextualizes how the Irish became white, along with other groups."
"Stealing an idea from DuBois is always a good thing, right? Well, not when it is done extremely incorrectly. Poop is brown, does that mean white workers associated black workers with feces, and therefore disliked them? If Roediger went back to the drawing board and removed all the psycho-babble, would he have enough material for a book? The answer is no."
