More Than Class examines the changing texture of power relations in U.S. workplaces, focusing on sites ranging from security booths to bedrooms to mining shafts, rather than the traditional shop floor.

They also take a look at ways to use new approaches—e.g. analysis of the intersections of identity and empowerment or disempowerment through constructions of race, ethnicity, and gender—to study subtle and not-so-subtle power relations in workplaces.
