The No-Nonsense Guide to Class, Caste, and Hierarchy |
| Upper, middle, or lower? Which class are you? Perhaps you
don’t think class exists any more, but Jeremy Seabrook argues that it most
certainly does, just in the way that caste still operates in India – even
though it is officially outlawed in that country. |
| Hierarchies and rankings have been with us since the earliest
times and, as Seabrook argues, they show no sign of disappearing yet. Those at
the top would have too much to lose. And don’t think that "class" is just
a British phenomenon. It’s alive everywhere. In the US everyone is "middle
class" – except of course those who don’t work, are homeless and
poor. This No-Nonsense Guide gives the full picture of how class analysis emerged from earlier categorizations, and how it affected and still affects people’s lives even today in our globalized world. Written by Jeremy Seabrook. Published in Canada in association with New Internationalist Publications™ Ltd. by Between the Lines, 2002. |
