What is Worlds of Pain : Life in the Working-class Family about?

Lillian Breslow Rubin's Worlds Of Pain: Life In The Working-class Family Is A Rare Find Among Studies Of Working- Class Families. Rubin Combines A Sensitivity To Her Own Working-class Background With Her Training As A Sociologist And Therapist To Understand, Interpret, And Analyze The Sources Of Pain And Repressed Anger Among This Frequently Neglected And Misunderstood Segment Of The Population--the White Working Class. In Her Analysis Of Their Family Lives, Rubin Goes Beyond The Current Fad Of Focusing Solely On The Situation Of Women To Encompass A Sensitivity To The World Of Working-class Men As Well. Rubin Analyzes The Family Lives Of These Women And Men With The Precision And Understanding That Only An Intellectual From The Working Class Could Have. The Book Stirred Many Memories From My Own Background. After Finishing Some Chapters, I Found Tears Running Down My Cheeks. To Understand This Pain Is To Understand The Lives Of White Working-class Families In The United States Today. -- From Https://www.jstor.org (august 29, 2016).
