Class Andrew Milner Published by Sage (1999) |
Book description
This concise and accessible book provides an overview of the position of class in Cultural Studies and
Sociology. Many critics argue that society has moved into a stage where classes have disappeared, so the class
struggle can no longer be regarded as the motor of history. But class is a key concept in cultural studies and has
underpinned the approaches to culture associated with influential figures in cultural studies like
Hoggart, Williams and Hall.
The author argues that the theoretical retreat from class has very often expressed the class interests of its
advocates. The book offers readers a critical introduction to the Marxist and Weberian accounts of class and
relates the significance of class in the new social movements. It also looks at class politics and trends in the
character of class relations.
The book reopens the debates over class and culture very nearly closed down in postmodernism. It is an
attempt to restore the concept of class to a focal point in contemporary cultural studies.
