Hi Everyone,

As I am trying to find out what impact Aint no makin it has had had I have chosen to look at how often it was used. Due to time constraints I am unable to check all of the citings for positive or negative feelings towards the book. It is cited 445 times in topics from early childhood to higher education. It also appears in published articles and books. I was interested in finding that Willis's "learning to labor: how working class kids get working class jobs" (lads and ear'oles st in Britain) was cited significantly more. It was published in '81, when Macleod did his research so perhaps it has been around longer?
I would later on when time and colicy babies permit do a analysis of where and for what it has been used.
John
