Description
Class and Contemporary British Culture by A. Biressi and H. Nunn explores how culture shapes our understanding of social class and difference. Through examples from the 1980s to the present day, the authors examine the changing landscape of class in Britain, including the rise of labels such as the 'squeezed middle' and the 'feral underclass'. The book argues that social class remains a valid route into understanding contemporary British culture's articulation of social distinction and difference. By investigating how class-based labels are used to categorise individuals, Biressi and Nunn reveal the significant costs and investments at stake for all involved. This analysis provides valuable insights into the complexities of contemporary British society, shedding light on the ways in which class continues to shape our culture and identity.
