ABSTRACT
This chapter incorporates and analyzes research gathered from interactive focus groups that were conducted with each of the three families who participated in this project. Within each focus group, participants were shown a series of clips from films and TV shows featuring white working-class people. Participants were then asked to reflect on these clips and share their observations with the group. The results, which are described and analyzed in this chapter, illustrate what happens when lived and mediated bodies intersect, and the understandings of class, race, and politics that emerge as a result.
