Description
Class: A Graphic Guide explores how social class functions in our lives, discussing its history, sociology and lived experience. University sociologists Laura Harvey and Sarah Leaney team up with comics creator Danny Noble to challenge simplistic ideas about working-class people and examine the intersections of class with other factors like race, sexuality and disability. This graphic guide looks at the colonialist roots of class systems, gentrification, precarious work and access to education, providing a nuanced understanding of how class affects us today. It's an enjoyable introduction for anyone looking to understand their own place within the social hierarchy, making it a valuable resource for students, community workers and activists alike.
