Summary Annotation <p>The university classroom has been turned into an intensely bitter battlefield. Conservatives are attacking the academy's ability to teach, and at times its very right to educate. As the dust begins to settle, the contributors to this volume weigh in with a constructive and wide-ranging statement on the progressive possibilities of teaching. This is, in many ways, a book for the morning after the PC Wars, when the shouting dies down and the imperatives of pedagogy remain.</p><p>Asserting a complex, inter-related agenda for teachers and students,<i>Class Issues</i>is an anthology of essays on radical teaching. Leading scholars of literary and cultural studies, queer studies, ethnic studies and working-class literature examine the challenges that confront progressive pedagogy, as well as the histories that lie behind the achievements of cultural studies.<i>Class Issues</i>offers a plan for the construction of an alternative public sphere in the rapidly changing space of the classroom in the academy.</p><p><i>Class Issues</i>is a compilation of important new work on the tradition of radical teaching as well as forceful suggestions for the mobilization of radical consciousness.<br />Contributers:<br />Goerge Lipsitz, Bruce Robbins, Maria Damon, John Mowitt, Donald K.
