How does culture articulate, frame, organise and produce stories
about social class and class difference? What do these stories tell
us about contemporary models of success, failure, struggle and
aspiration? How have class-based labels been revived or
newly-minted to categorise the insiders and outsiders of the new
'age of austerity'? Drawing on examples from the 1980s to the
present day this book investigates the changing landscape of class
and reveals how it has become populated by a host of classed
figures including Essex Man and Essex Girl, the 'squeezed middle',
the 'sharp-elbowed middle class', the 'feral underclass', the
'white working class', the 'undeserving poor', 'selfish baby
boomers' and others. Overall, the book argues that social class,
although complicated and highly contested, remains a valid and
fruitful route into understanding how contemporary British culture
articulates social distinction and social difference and the
significant costs and investments at stake for all involved.
