"To be working-class in a middle-class world is to be a ghost. Excluded, marginalised, and subjected to violence, the working class is also deemed by those in power to not exist. We are left with a choice between assimilation into middle-class values and culture, leaving our working-class origins behind, or total annihilation. In The Melancholia of Class, Cynthia Cruz analyses how this choice between assimilation or annihilation has played out in the lives of working-class musicians, artists, writers, and filmmakers- including Amy Winehouse, Ian Curtis, Jason Molina, Barbara Loden, and many more- and the melancholia that ensues when the working-class subject leaves their origins to "become someone," only to find that they lose themselves in the process."--
