  • Ain 'T No Makin' It By Jay Macleod Analysis

    985 Words  | 4 Pages

    Jay MacLeod’s book Ain’t No Making’ It is a treatise on social reproduction theory, that is, the ways in which class inequality is reproduced across generations, and is equally relevant and informative to understanding the cycle of poverty today as it was in 1987 when it was first published.

Though the attempt of the author is to provide a perspective which allows for the simultaneous existence of the two theories. We will see that neither perspective can be said to be entirely endorsed by the conclusions found in Ain’t No Makin’ It.

There are violin syncopations, with piccolo and altered strings between the dynamics forte and piano to the repeated chords.
