Description

What do we mean by social class in the 21st century? Sociologists Laura Harvey and Sarah Leaney, along with award-winning comics artist Danny Noble, present an illustrated journey through the history, sociology, and lived experience of class. Exploring topics such as gentrification, precarious work, the role of elites in society, and access to education, this book challenges simplistic and stigmatizing ideas about working-class people. It also discusses the colonialist roots of class systems and how class intersects with race, sexuality, gender, disability, and age. From the publishers of the bestselling Queer: A Graphic History, this is a vibrant introduction for students, community workers, activists, and anyone interested in understanding how class functions in their lives.
