"Working Class Cultures in Britain" uniquely approaches the social
history of the working class from the standpoint of the workers
themselves. Integrating a variety of of historical methods, the
book examines the construction of class within the intimate
contexts of the body, the home, the marketplace, the locality and
nation. Using these locations, Joanna Bourke assesses how the
subjective identity of the "working class"in Britain has been
maintained through seventy years of radical social, cultural and
economic change.
The book uses gender and ethnicity as a crucial reference point in
making the argument for class identity as an social and cultural
phenomenon, rather than a political or institutional product.
"Working Class Cultures in Britain" provides an excellent
introduction to the history and analysis of the working class in
this period.
