Actually I parsed this differently. I parsed it as "the intersection between class and (intellectualism —or geekishness, if you prefer—) can be especially invisible". I.e. "geekishness = intellectualism", which I think the case could be made for. He is right about Americans having trouble seeing class, since there is so much propaganda against seeing it (e.g. as soon as anyone anywhere mentions class, some republican is going to start screaming "class war").
