Malformed sentence?[edit]

> The book suggests that the traditional historical underemphasis of class consciousness and radicalism was the natural reaction of workers to the perceived dehumanization of capitalist society, following the rise of industrialism in mid-19th century America.

The natural reaction of the workers [...] was underemphasis of class consciousness and radicalism? Surely this should read something like, "The book suggests that class consciousness and radicalism was the natural reaction of the workers [...]", and then in a separate clause say that this has been traditionally undermphasised.
