Rutgers University Press Class Cultures And Social Mobility : The Hidden Strengths Of Working-Class First-Generation Graduates
28.68 GBP
Class Cultures and Social Mobility tells the stories of people who grew up working-class, became the first members of their family to graduate from college, and undertook professional work that serves working-class people.Drawing upon personal narratives to appeal to both academics and first-gen students themselves, this book charts the class journeys of people across a wide range of occupational fields.Their stories illustrate how members of the professional workforce draw upon their working-class roots to construct meaningful careers aimed at building stability, mobility, and fulfillment for the next generation of working-class people.While their working-class origins presented significant barriers along their career trajectories, they also found ways to leverage their roots in their professional work.Through their stories, the author reveals the power of working-class cultural capital-how their unique knowledge, skillsets, and dispositions enabled them to leverage their humble beginnings as a strength for both themselves and their communities.
Cambridge University Press Imperial Heartland : Immigration, Working-Class Culture And Everyday Tolerance, 1917–1947
27.73 GBP
Working-class Britons played a crucial role in the pioneering settlement and integration of South Asians in imperial Britain.Using a host of new and neglected sources, Imperial Heartland revises the history of early South Asian immigration to Britain, focusing on the northern English city of Sheffield.Rather than viewing immigration through the lens of inevitable conflict, this study takes an alternative approach, situating mixed marriages and inter-racial social networks centrally within the South Asian settlement of modern Britain.Whilst acknowledging the episodic racial conflict of the early inter-war period, David Holland challenges assumptions that insurmountable barriers of race, religion and culture existed between the British working classes and non-white newcomers.Imperial Heartland closely examines the reactions of working-class natives to these young South Asian men and overturns our pre-conceptions that hostility to perceived racial or national difference was an overriding pre-occupation of working-class people during this period.Imperial Heartland therefore offers a fresh and inspiring new perspective on the social and cultural history of modern Britain.
Manchester University Press Dangerous Amusements : Leisure, The Young Working Class And Urban Space In Britain, C. 1870–1939
80.75 GBP
In neighbourhoods and public spaces across Britain, young working people walked out together, congregated in the streets, and paraded up and down on the ‘monkey parades’.The beginnings of a distinct youth culture can be traced to the late nineteenth century, and the street and neighbourhood provided its forum.Dangerous amusements explores these sites of leisure and courtship, examining how young working-class men and women engaged with their environment.Drawing on an extensive range of sources, from newspapers and institutional records to oral histories and autobiography, this book traces the movements of young people across space.Exploring the relationship between the leisure lives of the young working class and urban space, this book offers a sensitive reappraisal of working-class youth and will be essential reading for historians of modern Britain. -- .
Palgrave Macmillan Working-Class Boys And Educational Success : Teenage Identities, Masculinities And Urban Schooling
104.49 GBP
This book examines the complex relationship between working-class masculinities and educational success.Drawing on a small sample of young men attending either a selective grammar or a secondary school in the same urban area of Belfast, the author demonstrates that contrary to popular belief, some working-class boys are engaged with education, are motivated to succeed and have high aspirations.However, the structures of schooling in a society where working class-ness is seen as feckless, tasteless and cultureless make the processes of becoming successful more challenging than they need to be.This volume reveals the unique processes of reconciling success and identities for individual working-class boys, and the important role schools have to play in this negotiation.Highly relevant to those engaged in teacher training in socially unequal societies, this book will also appeal to practitioners, sociologists of education, scholars of social justice and Bourdieusian theorists.
Profile Books Ltd Hard Streets : Working-Class Lives In Charlie Chaplin’s London
27.74 GBP
'HARD STREETS is a rich and emotive study of a world now lost that will leave readers stunned' Hallie Rubenhold, author of THE FIVECharlie Chaplin rose from the hard streets of Victorian London to become one of the most beloved comedians of all time.With his threadbare jacket, baggy trousers and puzzled expression, Chaplin's 'Little Tramp' alter ego was shaped by the city of his childhood - a place of ribald variety shows and hard drinking, radical politics and desperate poverty.In Hard Streets, Jacqueline Riding conjures the lost world of working-class London in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.Weaving through Chaplin's iconic rags-to-riches story are the lives of music hall stars, political reformers and George Tinworth, a neighbour of Chaplin's mother and grandparents, who progressed from poor wheelwright to nationally renowned sculptor.Riding paints a striking portrait of a time and place where hardship was the norm, but where talent, determination and luck could bring opportunity and success.
Watkins Media Limited I Could Be So Good For You : A Portrait Of The North London Working Class
22.03 GBP
I Could Be So Good For You tackles head-on the pernicious and implicitly racist fiction that London, most especially north London, has no "real" working class in comparison to a more "authentic" working class in a place called "the North".In doing so it offers a history and a portrait of north London's working class from the 1950s to the 21st century, based on a wide and original range of sources including personal memoirs, autobiographies, collected oral histories and new interviews conducted by the author.The result is an important social history and a rich panorama of working-class life — its struggles, work, celebrations, events, triumphs, tragedies and the occasional nice little earner.For good or ill, from the start of post-war affluence in the 1950s to the economic crash of 2008, north London's working class had a life experience like almost no other part of the British working class, one not just of poverty, racism and exploitation, but also of bold new housing schemes in the heart of the city, of great opportunity and diversity and enjoyment.Its about time to tell that story.
Manchester University Press The Devil’s Highway : Urban Anxieties And Subaltern Cultures In London’s Sailortown, C.1850-1900
80.75 GBP
Between 1850 and 1900, Ratcliffe Highway was the pulse of maritime London.Sailors from every corner of the globe found solace, and sometimes trouble, in this bustling district. However, for social investigators, it was a place of fascination and fear as it harboured chaotic and dangerous ‘exotic’ communities.Sailortowns were transient, cosmopolitan and working class in character and provide us with an insight into class, race and gendered relations. They were contact zones of heightened interaction where multi-ethnic subaltern cultures met, sometimes negotiated and at other times clashed with one another.The book argues that despite these challenges sailortown was a distinctive and functional working-class community that was self-regulating and self-moderating.The book uncovers a robust sailortown community in which an urban-maritime culture shaped a sense of themselves and the traditions and conventions that governed subaltern behaviour in the district. -- .

Taylor & Francis Ltd Difficult Subjects : Working Women And Visual Culture, Britain 1880-1914
43.69 GBP
The working women of Victorian and Edwardian Britain were fascinating but difficult subjects for artists, photographers, and illustrators.The cultural meanings of labour sat uncomfortably with conventional ideologies of femininity, and working women unsettled the boundaries between gender and class, selfhood and otherness.From paintings of servants in middle-class households, to exhibits of flower-makers on display for a shilling, the visual culture of women's labour offered a complex web of interior fantasy and exterior reality.The picture would become more challenging still when working women themselves began to use visual spectacle. In this first in-depth exploration of the representation of British working women, Kristina Huneault explores the rich meanings of female employment during a period of labour unrest, demands for women's enfranchisement, and mounting calls for social justice.In the course of her study she questions the investments of desire and the claims to power that reside in visual artifacts, drawing significant conclusions about the relationship between art and identity.
The University of Chicago Press Unsettled : The Culture Of Mobility And The Working Poor In Early Modern England
28.69 GBP
Poor migrants made up a growing class of workers in late sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England.By 1650, half of England's rural population consisted of homeless and itinerant laborers. "Unsettled" is an ambitious attempt to reconstruct the everyday lives of these dispossessed people.Patricia Fumerton offers a portrait of unsettledness in early modern England that includes the homeless and housed alike.Fumerton begins by building on recent studies of vagrancy, poverty, and servants, placing all in the light of a new domestic economy of mobility.She then looks at representations of the vagrant in a variety of pamphlets and literary works of the period.Since seamen were a particularly large and prominent class of mobile wage-laborers in the seventeenth century, Fumerton turns to seamen generally and to an individual poor seaman as a case study of the unsettled subject: Edward Barlow (b. 1642) provides a rare opportunity to see how the laboring poor fashioned themselves because he authored a journal of over 225,000 words and 147 pages of drawings. Barlow's journal, studied extensively here for the first time, vividly charts what he himself termed his "unsettled mind" and the perpetual anxieties of England's working and wayfaring poor.
John Wiley and Sons Ltd Despised : Why The Modern Left Loathes The Working Class
19.18 GBP
The typical contemporary Labour MP is almost certain to be a university-educated Europhile who is more comfortable in the leafy enclaves of north London than the party’s historic heartlands.As a result, Labour has become radically out of step with the culture and values of working-class Britain.Drawing on his background as a firefighter and trade unionist from Dagenham, Paul Embery argues that this disconnect has been inevitable since the Left political establishment swallowed a poisonous brew of economic and social liberalism.They have come to despise traditional working-class values of patriotism, family and faith and instead embraced globalisation, rapid demographic change and a toxic, divisive brand of identity politics.Embery contends that the Left can only revive if it speaks once again to the priorities of working-class people by combining socialist economics with the cultural politics of belonging, place and community. No one who wants to really understand why our politics has become so dysfunctional and what the Left can do to fix it can afford to miss this authentic, insightful and passionate book.

Penguin Books Ltd The Uses Of Literacy : Aspects Of Working-Class Life
16.33 GBP
When a society becomes more affluent, does it lose other values?Are the skills that education and literacy gave millions wasted on consuming pop culture?Do the media coerce us into a world of the superficial and the material - or can they be a force for good?When Richard Hoggart asked these questions in his 1957 book The Uses of Literacy Britain was undergoing huge social change, yet his landmark work has lost none of its pertinence and power today.Hoggart gives a fascinating insight into the close-knit values of Northern England's vanishing working-class communities, and weaves this together with his views on the arrival of a new, homogenous 'mass' US-influenced culture.His headline-grabbing bestseller opened up a whole new area of cultural study and remains essential reading, both as a historical document, and as a commentary on class, poverty and the media.
University of Toronto Press Working Lives : Essays In Canadian Working-Class History
84.55 GBP
Craig Heron is one of Canada's leading labour historians.Drawing together fifteen of Heron's new and previously published essays on working-class life in Canada, Working Lives covers a wide range of issues, including politics, culture, gender, wage-earning, and union organization.A timely contribution to the evolving field of labour studies in Canada, this cohesive collection of essays analyzes the daily experiences of people working across Canada over more than two hundred years. Honest in its depictions of the historical complexities of daily life, Working Lives raises issues in the writing of Canadian working-class history, especially "working-class realism" and how it is eventually inscribed into Canada's public history.Thoughtfully reflecting on the ways in which workers interact with the past, Heron discusses the important role historians and museums play in remembering the adversity and milestones experienced by Canada's working class.
Biteback Publishing The Snobbery : Taking On Modern Elitism And Empowering The Working Class
20.13 GBP
An insidious snobbery has taken root in parts of progressive Britain.Working-class voters have flexed their political muscles and helped to change the direction of the country, but in doing so they have been met with disdain and even abuse from elites in politics, culture and business.They have been derided as uneducated, bigoted turkeys voting for Christmas, as Empire apologists patriotic to the point of delusion. At election time, we hear a lot about 'levelling up the Red Wall'.But when the votes have been counted, what can actually be done to meet the very real concerns of the 'left behind' in the UK's post-industrial towns?In these once vibrant hubs of progress, working-class voters now face the prospect of being minimised or ridiculed in cultural life, economically marginalised and abandoned educationally. In this rousing polemic, David Skelton explores the roots and reality of this new snobbery, calling for an end to the divisive culture war and the creation of a new politics of the common good, empowering workers, remaking the economy and placing communities centre stage.Above all, he argues that we now have a once-in-a-century opportunity to bring about permanent change.
Watkins Media Limited The Melancholia Of Class : A Manifesto For The Working Class
14.43 GBP
To be working-class in a middle-class world is to be a ghost.Excluded, marginalised, and subjected to violence, the working class is also deemed by those in power to not exist.We are left with a choice between assimilation into middle-class values and culture, leaving our working-class origins behind, or total annihilation. In The Melancholia of Class, Cynthia Cruz analyses how this choice between assimilation or annihilation has played out in the lives of working-class musicians, artists, writers, and filmmakers — including Amy Winehouse, Ian Curtis, Jason Molina, Barbara Loden, and many more — and the resultant Freudian melancholia that ensues when the working-class subject leaves their origins to “become someone,” only to find that they lose themselves in the process. Part memoir, part cultural theory, and part polemic, The Melancholia of Class shows us how we can resist assimilation, uplifting and carrying our working-class origins and communities with us, as we break the barriers of the middle-class world.There are so many of us, all of us waiting. If we came together, who knows what we could do.

Cornell University Press Korean Workers : The Culture And Politics Of Class Formation
26.59 GBP
Forty years of rapid industrialization have transformed millions of South Korean peasants and their sons and daughters into urban factory workers.Hagen Koo explores the experiences of this first generation of industrial workers and describes its struggles to improve working conditions in the factory and to search for justice in society. The working class in South Korea was born in a cultural and political environment extremely hostile to its development, Koo says.Korean workers forged their collective identity much more rapidly, however, than did their counterparts in other newly industrialized countries in East Asia.This book investigates how South Korea's once-docile and submissive workers reinvented themselves so quickly into a class with a distinct identity and consciousness. Based on sources ranging from workers' personal writings to union reports to in-depth interviews, this book is a penetrating analysis of the South Korean working-class experience.Koo reveals how culture and politics simultaneously suppressed and facilitated class formation in South Korea.With chapters exploring the roles of women, students, and church organizations in the struggle, the book reflects Koo's broader interest in the social and cultural dimensions of industrial transformation.
Taylor & Francis Ltd Class, Culture And The Curriculum
35.14 GBP
It is often argued that education is concerned with the transmission of middle-class values and that this explains the relative educational failure of the working class.Consequently, distinctive culture needs a different kind of education.This volume examines this claim and the wider question of culture in British society.It analyses cultural differences from a social historical viewpoint and considers the views of those applying the sociology of knowledge to educational problems.The author recognizes the pervasive sub-cultural differences in British society but maintains that education should ideally transmit knowledge which is relatively class-free.Curriculum is defined as a selection from the culture of a society and this selection should be appropriate for all children.The proposed solution is a common culture curriculum and the author discusses three schools which are attempting to put the theory of such curriculum into practice.This study is an incisive analysis of the relationships between class, education and culture and also a clear exposition of the issues and pressures in developing a common culture curriculum.
Princeton University Press Cultures In Flux : Lower-Class s, Practices, And Resistance In Late Imperial Russia
42.75 GBP
The popular culture of urban and rural tsarist Russia revealed a dynamic and troubled world.Stephen Frank and Mark Steinberg have gathered here a diverse collection of essays by Western and Russian scholars who question conventional interpretations and recall neglected stories about popular behavior, politics, and culture.What emerges is a new picture of lower-class life, in which traditions and innovations intermingled and social boundaries and identities were battered and reconstructed.The authors vividly convey the vitality as well as the contradictions of social life in old regime Russia, while also confronting problems of interpretation, methodology, and cultural theory.They tell of peasant death rites and religious beliefs, family relationships and brutalities, defiant peasant women, folk songs, urban amusement parks, expressions of popular patriotism, the penny press, workers' notions of the self, street hooliganism, and attempts by educated Russians to transform popular festivities.Together, the authors portray popular culture not as a static, separate world, but as the dynamic means through which lower-class Russians engaged the world around them. In addition to the editors, the contributors to this volume are Daniel R.Brower, Barbara Alpern Engel, Hubertus F. Jahn, Al'bin M. Konechnyi, Boris N. Mironov, Joan Neuberger, Robert A. Rothstein, and Christine D. Worobec.
SPCK Publishing Invisible Divides : Class, Culture And Barriers To Belonging In The Church
14.43 GBP
We’re called to be like Jesus, not like each other - so why are most Western churches predominantly middle class?Could it be that we’re reaching out to people in poverty, but struggling to connect them into church life?Natalie Williams and Paul Brown know all too well that those saved from working-class backgrounds often find themselves discipled effectively - but into middle classism rather than authentic Christianity.Drawing on their own experiences, and mixing theory with practical application, they explore the invisible divides that prevent churches from becoming places of true inclusion and keep poor and working-class people on the edges of faith.Packed full of surprising insights and helpful advice, Invisible Divides will change the way you see church life.Essential reading for anyone concerned with the class divide within the church, it will challenge you to look at the ways in which we inadvertently exclude, alienate and offend people who aren’t like us, and equip you to start working towards making church a more open, inclusive space for everyone. Jesus calls for us all to follow him, no matter our background; together, we can break down the invisible divides between us so that people from all walks of life can come to know Christ and find family in our churches.

This book explores and compares the roles, mentalities, and destinies of elitist and working-class women in Europe’s most dramatic revolutions: England’s “Puritan Revolution” of 1640-1660, France’s 1789 Revolution, and Russia’s 1917 Revolution. By providing one of the most detailed analyses to date of how feminist historians, sociologists, and specialists theorize gender, sexuality, and patriarchy the author draws connections to current debate over the causation of sociopolitical revolutions; and how such scholars speculate about the long-term implications of such revolutions for women in the USA and in other countries.This book briefly outlines the stage-by-stage progression of events in the English, French, and Russian Revolutions, thus enabling the general reader to contextualize more easily its discussion of women’s revolutionary experiences in those countries. This book reappraises the relative importance ascribable to gendered/cultural and to statist/geopolitical factors through the disastrous revolutionary careers of three consort queens: i.e., Henrietta Maria of England, Marie-Antoinette of France, and Alexandra Feodorovna of Russia. by contrasting their political failings with the political acumen of three earlier regnant queens in these three countries: i.e., Elizabeth I, Cathérine de Médicis, and Catherine II (“the Great.”)Finally, this book demonstrates how women of humble social station used these unheard-of revolutionary situations either to express their grievances and voice their social aspirations or, on the other hand, to reaffirm their long-held allegiance to traditional principles, customs, and religion. It concludes by discussing race/ethnicity and statism as challenging issues that need to be confronted in any current discussion of women’s revolutionary experiences.
