Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. Slight shelf wear to edge of cover. Recession and the return of mass unemployment are causing a growing army of people to live on the margins of society: unemployed youth, single parents, sections of the black community and many unskilled workers. This book is about the division between these groups and the more prosperous layers of the working class in Britain. The authors explore the relationship between the state and the different working class groups. They discuss the dissolution of community and family life and the effect of the welfare state on personal experience. Above all, they show how the splits within the working class are being used to foster a new authoritarianism. They conclude that closing these divides must be a priority if the dangers facing the labour movement are to be met and real advances made. 194 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
