Abstract

This memorial essay is a personal and sociological reflection on what it was like to learn from Stanley Aronowitz, both as his student and as his friend. Close attention is paid to what many consider his best book, False Promises, and its major insight: that class consciousness forms outside the labor process — through games, play, sex, and community organizing — as much as from within it.
