Based on qualitative research among industrial workers in a region
that has undergone deindustrialisation and transformation to a
service-based economy, this book examines the loss of status among
former manual labourers. Focus lies on their emotional experiences,
nostalgic memories, hauntings from the past and attachments to
their former places of work, to transformed neighbourhoods, as well
as to public space. Against this background the book explores the
continued importance of class as workers attempt to manage the
declining recognition of their skills and a loss of power in an
"established-outsider figuration". A study of the transformation of
everyday life and social positions wrought by changes in the social
structure, in urban landscapes and in the "structures of feeling",
this examination of the dynamic of social identity will appeal to
scholars of sociology, anthropology and geography with interests in
post-industrial societies, social inequality, class and social
identity.
