Editorial Reviews
Review
Framing Class provides an interesting, and previously understudied, look at class as shaped by popular culture. Kendall has collected a wonderfully detailed and significant data set, which should recommend this book to sociologists and communications/media scholars, as well as undergraduate courses in Social Stratification, Social Problems, or Sociology of Popular Culture. (Susan Alexander)
