The story of Sicilian immigrant Rosa Angelelli is embedded within the fictional retelling of West Virginia labor history known as the Mine Wars. Giardina creates a female immigrant protagonist who makes plain the abuse and trauma Italian immigrant women and girls face. This point-of-view is normally obfuscated in favor of a male immigrant’s perspective, but Rosa’s story is neither ignored nor erased. As one of four protagonists in the novel, Rosa’s fractured remembrances are told through a halting discourse, revealing her isolation and the danger that awaits her no matter the choices she makes. Taking from Loretta Baldassar and Donna Gabaccia’s ideas on personal intimacy, Rosa’s struggles are not an exception, but an object lesson in how immigrant women and girls are often left with no means to develop community or intimacy, endangering their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.","PeriodicalId":258091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Working-Class Studies","volume":"2012 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139160285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A self-administered online survey, using Amazon MTURK, deployed over two time periods (N=1,513), provides data regarding our novel 12-item self-estrangement scale by fast-food occupation type (cashier, server, cook, shift manager, and general manager) and sociodemographic covariates. Preliminary analysis shows that a salaried position and those with a postbaccalaureate education experience lower levels of self-estrangement than their colleagues. Cashiers and cooks experience higher levels of self-estrangement relative to those in other positions. This study offers unique contributions to the conceptualization and operationalization of a dimension of alienation specific to self-estrangement, facilitating greater understanding of the fast-food labor sector, its organization, and the state of its workers","PeriodicalId":258091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Working-Class Studies","volume":"1989 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139160502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The book’s author, independent media studies scholar Shannon O’Sullivan, interrogates reality television from networks such as Discovery and History to identify a cultural trend within American media that presents white, working-class masculinity as a hegemonic model with foundations in frontier violence, white supremacism, and settler colonialism. The book shows how American media conflates gender, class, and race to present audiences with monolithic symbols of power: a troubling circulation of blue-collar, frontier-laden white masculinity. O’Sullivan tactically mixes methodologies, drawing on literary criticism, sociology, media studies, and cultural studies to parse out the complicated genealogy and representational politics of the blue-collar frontier phenomenon. The study triangulates this phenomenon using three provocative areas of focus: hegemonic masculinity, the historical and ideological conceptions of the frontier, and performativity. Reality TV’s Real Men of the Recession dedicates the most time to defining hegemonic masculinity. As a status-quo gender performative, several chapters address how hegemonic masculinity informs media presentations of white, working men who thrive on danger, violence, and homo-social competition. While attention to this topic often feels more like a literature review than an intervention, the author does work to make the discussion more contemporary by applying an intersectional lens that calls upon both black feminist critics and indigenous critical theorists for perspective. Doing so helps to identify not only what constitutes the real men offered in the title, but provides how hegemonic masculinity becomes the social currency that maintains positions of power in 21st century America. O’Sullivan reveals how the physical and cultural geography of blue-collar","PeriodicalId":258091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Working-Class Studies","volume":"2018 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139159953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After becoming a professor, I slowly grew to understand that being a successful faculty member requires learning a different set of survival techniques than those I needed to succeed in my undergraduate and graduate studies. As it was during my student years, nobody in my family or anyone they knew could counsel me on what it takes to earn tenure, promotion, sabbatical leave, or any of the other rewards the academy offers. Compounding this problem was a counterproductive belief, one frequently held by others from backgrounds like mine. Namely, the fear that asking for help shows weakness, prima facia evidence that I was unqualified to be an academic. Beyond the questions I was afraid to ask were the many questions I did not know to ask, questions with answers that would have saved me from countless headaches. In hopes of smoothing the way for recently hired working-class academics, this article presents seven lessons I wish I had learned before becoming a university professor, knowledge that had I acquired early on would have made my travels through the university labyrinth far easier – infinitely less trying.","PeriodicalId":258091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Working-Class Studies","volume":"285 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139160982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article is based on archival research and interviews with two key participants involved in the campaign for Scoil an tSeachtar Laoch, Éilís Uí Langáin and Colm Ó Torna. The campaign to establish the school is viewed through the lenses of class and decolonisation. Firstly, the long-term socio-economic and political contexts to the campaign are outlined. Secondly, the social base and the pre-existing networks and ideology which allowed the campaign to develop are explored. Following this, the emergence of the campaign and its politics are examined. Finally, the lasting impact of the struggle for the school both locally and nationally is discussed. The conclusion reached is one that is of the utmost importance for Irish language, gaelscoil and decolonial activists, namely that it will be difficult to replicate the success of Ballymun again today in the neoliberal context because the material basis in terms of secure housing and a tight-knit urban community does not exist. At a time when there has been much talk in Irish revivalist circles about promoting Irish in Dublin with the launch of the Baile Átha Cliath le Gaeilge (Dublin For Irish) scheme, the history of Ballymun and Scoil an tSeachtar Laoch demonstrates how a secure home is the lynchpin on which real communal progress with regard the Irish language must be based. It is therefore necessary for those who wish to see the Irish language flourish in the city to learn the lessons of history and improve, first and foremost, the day-to-day lives of ordinary Dubliners by becoming active on the burning question of housing.","PeriodicalId":258091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Working-Class Studies","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126807883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
