Description
Chavs: The Demonization of the Working Class by Owen Jones is a thought-provoking investigation into the changing perception of the working class in modern Britain. The author, Owen Jones, exposes the ignorance and prejudice behind the "chav" stereotype, revealing a far more complex reality. Jones argues that the chav caricature is used by governments as a convenient excuse to avoid genuine engagement with social and economic problems and to justify widening inequality. Based on a wealth of original research, this updated edition includes a new chapter exploring the causes and consequences of the UK riots in 2011. A damning indictment of the media and political establishment, Chavs is a disturbing portrait of inequality and class hatred in modern Britain.
