Challenging Alienation in the British Working-Class: Building a Community of Equals: Palgrave Politics of Identity and Citizenship Series

Autor Sam Taylor Hill
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 mai 2024
 This book explores the possibility of alienation amongst the British working-class and argues that the class is, in fact, alienated. Its point of departure is the right-communitarians, who outline how the working class has become alienated as a result of a loss of its political agency, the breakdown of its communities, and the undermining of its dignity. However, where these scholars tend to propose solutions from a right-communitarian perspective, this book adopts a more inclusive, left-wing, position to address working-class concerns.
