White Working Class Voices: Multiculturalism, Community-Building and Change de Harris Beider

White Working Class Voices: Multiculturalism, Community-Building and Change

Autor Harris Beider
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 oct 2015
Perceptions of white working-class communities are commonly discussed, but the views held by these communities themselves are less often considered. This book provides the first substantial analysis of white working-class perspectives on issues of multiculturalism and change in the United Kingdom, giving a platform to these silent voices. Based on over two hundred interviews, White Working Class Voices presents startling results that challenge the preconceptions of politicians, policy makers, practitioners, and researchers. Exploring how white working-class communities came to be framed as racist, resistant to change, and disconnected from politics, Harris Beider suggests a new and progressive agenda for how this often misrepresented group can be fully included in a modern, diverse Britain.

Recenzii

“While racial conflict remains a very real problem, with significant effects on politics and policy, this book reminds us that racism transcends traditional class boundaries and focuses on the best source for understanding working-class culture—the lived experiences and the voices of working-class people.”

"A very timely addition in the contemporary debate relating to the intersectionality of social class."

“Many of the same socioeconomic changes that scholars have associated with the rise of President Donald Trump in the United States have been associated with recent political events in Great Britain. The white working class has been at the center of many of these debates, but often based on limited empirical evidence of their beliefs and attitudes. Based on over 200 interviews in multiple sites in the United Kingdom, Beider challenges conventional notions of the white working class. Especially on issues of race and multiculturalism, the book adds nuance and detail to the ways white working-class people have reacted to de-industrialization, the changing racial and ethnic makeup of the country, and the strategies taken by major political parties.”

“Unafraid of complicating the story rather than cutting corners, Beider digs around in the untidy spaces between the personal and the collective, and between antipathy and solidarity in this engaging and revealing exploration of white working-class responses to, and investments in multicultural Britain”

"Harris Beider prioritises the voices of people in white, working-class communities—providing a rich and provocative analysis of ethnicity, class, power and representation. This book is a vital—and timely—resource for policy-makers."
