Class in Britain BOOK culture Anthropology history

Class in Britain by David Cannadine.  Paperback book published by Penguin 2000, 249 pages.  The British are famously obsessed with class, whether they see their country as a huge (and perhaps harmonious) hierarchy, as a society deeply divided into upper, middle and lower, or as the setting for a constant struggle between them and us. Class distinctions reflect reality - life on a council estate is very different from life in a stately home - but they are also constantly used by politicians to forge new notations of national identity, to demonize opponents, and to distribute praise or blame are they at all helpful in explaining broader historical trends? In this survey of British life from the era of Dr Johnson to Thatcher, Major and Blair (and their contrasting ideals of a classless society), David Cannadine skillfully cuts through the rhetoric to the fundamental truths about class in Britain - truths which may change the way we think about our society and ourselves. This book is in very good condition.  The cover is in good condition.  There is some minor wear to the edges, corners (some minor bumping) and to the top and bottom of the spine.  There is some minor creasing to the spine.  There is some minor shelf wear overall as well as some slight marks and scuffs. The book itself is in very good condition.  There are a few minor marks to the outer edges.  There is some very slight wear to the corners.  There is yellowing of the pages. Overall a very good copy.
