Description

The British Parliament may seem like an institution governed by strict rules and formalities, but in reality, it is full of surprises. In "Commons and Lords: A Short Anthropology of Parliament", Emma Crewe reveals the unexpected inner workings of both the House of Commons and the House of Lords through her fieldwork within these institutions. Contrary to popular perceptions, the House of Commons appears more competitive than cooperative, while the House of Lords has a surprisingly egalitarian ethos. This book offers a fresh perspective on the British parliament system, exposing its quirks and contradictions. By examining the relationships between members in both Houses, Crewe sheds light on the complex social dynamics at play. Through her observations, Crewe shows that the British parliament is not as straightforward as it seems. "Commons and Lords" is a fascinating exploration of this institution, one that will appeal to anyone interested in politics, sociology, or the human side of governance.
