[lbo-talk] _A Nation of Realtors: A Cultural History of the Twentieth Century American Middle Class_

[Shane Taylor]

Scott McLemee's latest column is on _A Nation of Realtors: A Cultural 
History of the Twentieth Century American Middle Class_ by Jeffrey M. 
Hornstein.  As you can gather from the title, it covers the history of 
realty and the shaping the identity of the American middle class.

And more.  Hornstein is an "organizing director of Service Employees 
International Union, Local 36, in Philadelphia."  McLemee interviews 
him, opening with Hornstein's union work and the need for organizers.
