The first and main thing, I think, is just to remark that I don't think there *is* class theory in the same way that there's race and gender and sexuality theory. There's theories of class formation and conflict and of class as process, but I really kind of think that class as identity category isn't often theorized in a way analogous to the other formations.
There's a lot out on working class identity -- it's a growing field! Have you read Janet Zandy, Sherry Lee Linkon, Renny Christopher, John Russo, Paul Lauter? (To name a few of my favorites...)
