’The Dialectics of Gender and Class’ concludes a trilogy of aphoristic books by John O’Loughlin whose focus is primarily dialectical, and it does so on no uncertain axial terms, not least with regard to the elemental correlation with gender and class which comes to light when once one begins to approach dialectics from a gender- and class-orientated standpoint with a view to understanding the co-existence of each on overall axial terms. Historic stuff! And no bluff!
