Combining classical Marxism, psychoanalysis, and the new labor history pioneeredby E. P. Thompson and Herbert Gutman, David Roediger's widely acclaimedbook provides an original study of the formative years of working-classracism in the United States. This, he argues, cannot be explainedsimply with reference to economic advantage; rather, whiteworking-class racism is underpinned by a complex series ofpsychological and ideological mechanisms that reinforce racialstereotypes, and thus help to forge the identities of white workers inopposition to Blacks.

In a new preface, Roediger reflects on the reception, influence, and critical response to The Wages of Whiteness, while Kathleen Cleaver's insightful introduction hails the importance of a work that has become a classic.
