Description
Orderly Britain explores how British society has addressed everyday problems over the past seventy years. From dog fouling to double parking, Newburn and Ward examine the mundane matters that reveal insights into social change. The authors argue that post-war British society places significant emphasis on ordering and laying down rules about conduct. They uncover stories behind these everyday issues, such as the banning of dogs from Burnley parks in the 1970s or the London parking crisis of the 1980s. Through quirky tales and accessible analysis, Orderly Britain sheds light on the deeper sociological roots of British society's changing social order.
