sqbr: A happy dragon on a pile of books (happy dragon)
Sunday, January 25th, 2009 09:03 am
So as you may have noticed I've been talking about race a lot recently, plus a bit about gender and sexuality and other stuff like that.

One thing I tend not to talk about, at least not in top level comments, is class. It's not that I don't care, but I don't really have the language to talk about it: thanks to the vagaries of my upbringing I have fairly extreme left wing views which mean I get annoyed by mainstream (or right wing) analysis, but since pretty much everything I know I got by osmosis I'm not up with all the technical terminology etc that other people with similar views might have, and also 99% of the stuff I've read sets off my "Annoying socialist propaganda" alarms and pisses me off too much for me to keep reading.

So does anyone have advice for resources that might help me get a more deep and educated understanding (as well as figuring out quite where I stand) that's unlikely to either assume I've got an arts degree (or want one) or be thinly veiled propaganda for the authors views on how things should be rather than an attempt at an objective understanding of how things are? Bonus points for intersectionality.
Where I'm coming from and what annoys me )

sqbr: And yet all I can think is this will make for a great livejournal entry. (livejournal)

LiveJournal by ME by [livejournal.com profile] aphephobia. Make sure you check out the comments.

What are you guys favourite places on lj you think most people would think are cool?

I went through all the comms I'm on in this post, the ones I think would have most broad appeal are [livejournal.com profile] little_details, [livejournal.com profile] fanthropology and [livejournal.com profile] trashy_eats. Maybe [livejournal.com profile] cooking too.

I had to leave [livejournal.com profile] vaginapagina because of the constant barrage of nsfw posts waiting for me when I got home from work, but it's pretty cool.
