This accessible introductory text offers an engaging and
thought-provoking discussion of class in relation to several
cultural, sociological and political schools of thought and draws
upon the works of a broad range of key theorists as well as
contemporary thinkers to restate the ongoing importance of class as
a sociological concept. Class has long been a key focus of
sociological and political studies. This book explores what it
might mean today in a 21st century context. Is class really
disappearing? Is class morally justifiable? What impact has
globalisation and neoliberalism had on the restructuring of
class-based social relationships? These questions and others are
explored in this short but lively book. Stevenson reviews a number
of normative traditions including anarchist, Marxist, social
democratic and citizenship-based forms of understanding of class in
order to shed light on the themes of class-based experiences,
health and inequality, work, class struggle, social movements and
the possibility of developing more egalitarian and just societies
in the future. This short book will be invaluable to general
readers and students in the humanities and social sciences seeking
an accessible introduction to the central problems raised by
discussions of class in the 21st century.
