Review Walley . . . writes her book as an autoethnography. This is a form that uses the authors personal experience and reflection as a lens through which to view broader cultural and political trends. It proves to be an effective way of tackling a number of thorny issues like the politics of industrial decline, gender roles in working-class families, racism in white blue collar neighborhoods and the physical and psychic markers of class in America with both clarifying insight and humanizing compassion. Walleys willingness to dive headfirst into questions about the nature of persistent economic segregation seems especially necessary in todays post-Occupy environment where issues of inequality are understood to be important yet still seem unable to be truly addressed. (John M. Tryneski Spectrum Culture)How a person feels about herself, as she contemplates her class positioning, is central to Exit Zero, Christine Walleys superb memoir or autoethnography. . . . But there is more here than family history: Walley uses the stories of these people to reflect more generally on the kinds of stories people of the United States tell to make sense of social class and, particularly, of industrial progress and deindustrialization. (Richard Handler American Ethnologist)Exit Zero is a poignant and scholarly engagement with the topics of class and mobility. It offers an accessible entry point for undergraduates and an ideal model of reflexive methodology for advanced readers. It pushes us to ponder fundamental questions about family, national myths, and the end-goal of upward mobility. (Mary Pattillo Contemporary Sociology)Exit Zero is a remarkable, erudite book that is gracefully written and deeply grounded in cross-disciplinary scholarship on deindustrialization, inequality, gender, race, and class. (American Anthropologist)In the early years of Working-Class Studies, I worried that we sometimes valorized the personal without demanding that it generate political and scholarly analysis. With Walleys book, we see that this field has developed a signature genre: the hybrid of autobiography and scholarly analysis previously illustrated most effectively by Jack Metzgar in Striking Steel and Barbara Jensen in Reading Classes. Such books go beyond telling working-class stories to demonstrate the critical practice of constructing theories of class through the analysis of experience. Exit Zero offers us both an engaging story and insightful analysis. (Sherry Linkon Working-Class Studies)Exit Zero is an incredibly moving book written by an academic scholar coming to grips with her experience with deindustrialization. (New Labor Forum)Christine J. Walleys vivid, frank, and insightful autoethnography casts a stark light on the travails of the American working class in the last century. In Exit Zero, she evokes the long hours and dangerous conditions of Chicagos steel mills in their glory days, the heedless dumping of toxic waste that may have made Walley a cancer victim in her twenties, and the terrible toll the mills closing took on middle-aged men who would never work again. Progressive, but never politically correct, Walley gives a warts-and-all portrayal of Chicagos white working class that does not smooth over its racist and sexist underside, while challenging middle-class readers to cast aside their own romanticized or paternalistic stereotypes of the declining white working class. (Hugh Gusterson, George Mason University)Exit Zero is a gem that will appeal to a variety of audiences. Christine Walleys analysis of how community residents in Southeast Chicagoand particularly members of her familyexperienced deindustrialization is sensitive and illuminating, and her discussion of what it was like for her to leave Southeast Chicago to enter the upper-middle class world reinforces her message that the working class world is poorly understood both in popular culture and in mainstream academic literature. In the last full chapter, on the environmental dimension of social class, she breaks new ground. Exit Zero is an intense account of a little-considered part of the American experience. (David Bensman, Rutgers University 2012-04-26)If you thought deindustrialization was something that decimated a few unlucky manufacturing towns back in the 1980s, think again. Christine J. Walleys poignant analytic memoir of family life and class relations after the steel mills closed shows how America is still living out the legacy of those years, decades later. Anyone who wants to understand why the gap between rich and poor keeps widening, why upward mobility has shifted from a collective to an individual project, which misbegotten policies led to this predicament, and how the materiality of class affects us even at the cellular level, can learn from Walleys wise and incisive critique. (Kath Weston, University of Virginia)Telling the story of how the demise and collapse of the Southeast Chicago steel industry in the 1980s transformed her familys sense of past and future, Christine J. Walley shows us that analyzing class, gender, and race always demands that we weave between the personal and the political, that we think across the intimate, the institutional, and even the international. Exit Zero is autoethnography, political economy, immigration history, and urban anthropology at its best.
