Shop Class as Soulcraft

I inherited a syllabus with this book on it. I removed it without reading it in favor of other works. Once I had a moment, I figured I should read what it was I ended up not teaching. I made the right decision.

There is nothing about shop class after the first chapter and nothing about soul craft in the entire book. It largely amounts to a haphazard assemblage of overly general critiques of "knowledge work" contrasted with anecdotes in which the author demonstrates he is capable of repairing motorcycles. Not a particularly insightful or worthwhile read. Also super gendered.
