解説
After a decades-long absence, class is once again central to our understanding of ailing Britain. But what does it mean to be working class today? As Jonas Patrick Marvin shows, questions of class have often been replaced by talk of race and geography. Meanwhile, a collective identity capable of pushing for change has become increasingly weakened and sidelined.
Retelling the story of the working class over the last forty years - from Thatcher's war against the unions to New Labour neoliberalism - Marvin shows how power and capital have combined to shatter a radical identity into many parts: white, male, northerner, homeowner, immigrant, unemployed, disabled. These fragments are then set in conflict against each other. Blending political analysis with an account of his own experiences of class in London and the rustbelt Midlands, Marvin shows how the working class have been demonised and man-aged into impotence.
The working class is more than just an identity. As Marvin argues, it embodies a collective will to demand change, one that can - and must - be rekindled.
