ABOUT CHUCK STEFFEN
That's Chuck Steffen in the photo, a recovering Catholic, still on his knees after all these years. It was taken by his brother Dan. The location is a parking lot in Eagle Rock, California, a short distance from the assisted-living facility where their parents were coming down the home stretch of life, neck and neck.
Steffen was a professor of US history once upon a time. Now, he is a state pensioner. He spent forty years at Murray State University and Georgia State University, educating young minds and writing on a range of topics from labor politics in the early republic to the crises of homelessness and housing in the late republic.
Toward the end of his classroom days Steffen made a discovery that changed everything: a world that had grown stale and predictable came to life in unexpected ways when he viewed it through the discipline of geography, the theories of Karl Marx and the lens of a camera. Framing Capitalism in Place is Steffen's attempt to synthesize these three ways of knowing.
