Philosophically, how should we understand the unusual passage between social classes, its deeper causes, and its effects on individual makeup?

Historians, philosophers, sociologists, psychoanalysts, artists and artisans: most of the creators in this book are "transclass"–products of individual and collective history. They speak openly and candidly, their approaches intersecting to render visible a sometimes idealized and very often overlooked reality: the passage from one social class to another. Neither outsized pride nor guilty shame–what they want above all is to undertand the origin and nature of such a social change and ponder how to be and live between classes.
