Abstract
This book examines the construction of middle-class identity in the twentieth-century United States through a focus on social workers. Much of the description of class formation in this book derives from glimpses at the experiences of Jewish social workers in New York City. For these social workers, class identity vacillated between proletarianism and professionalism, between working class and middle class.
