Since the Gilded Age, social scientists, middleclass reformers, and writers have left the comforts of their offices to 'pass' as steel workers, coal miners, assemblyline laborers, waitresses, hoboes, and other working and poor people in an attempt to gain a fuller and more authentic understanding of the lives of the working class and the poor. In this first, sweeping study of undercover investigations of work and poverty in America, awardwinning historian Mark Pittenger examines howintellectuals were shaped by their experiences with the poor, and how despite their sympathy toward workingclass people, they unintentionally helped to develop the contemporary concept of a degraded and 'other' American underclass.While contributing to our understanding of the history of American socialthought, Class Unknown offers a new perspective on contemporary debates over how we understandand represent our own society and its class divisions.
