Katherine S. Newman, _Falling From Grace_. She's done a couple of ethnographies of those experiencing downward mobility and she captures some of the bargains and contradictions among the middling classes.

Jonathan Kozol's _Savage Inequalities_ is a moving book though he unfortunately pulls his punches on the linkages among schooling, race, and class. The classic read is Bowles and Gintis which is accessible.
Elijah Anderson's _Streetwise_ is another good ethnography that focuses on race-class relationships, especially in the concrete living conditions and interactions between members of different groups. William J. Wilson's work is a bit more involved.
