With this volume, Andreas Kemper and Heike Weinbach present an introduction to the concept of classism.
Classism, as a hitherto little-known term in Germany, refers here to “individual, institutional, and cultural discrimination and oppression based on actual, presumed, or ascribed social or educational status.”(publisher’s book description).
In the book, people’s experiences of classism are discussed as a societal, structural problem and are considered and analyzed together with overlapping forms of discrimination such as racism and sexism.
