This trade paperback represents the updated third edition, featuring a retrospective chapter analyzing the aftermath of its initial groundbreaking release. The book has been flawlessly handled and stored since receipt, exhibiting sharp corners, a completely flat and uncreased spine, and crisp, perfectly white text pages entirely free from shelf-wear, dust spotting, or thumb-marks.In modern Britain, the working class has undergone a profound shift in public perception—transitioning from the respected \"salt of the earth\" to an object of political ridicule and social fear. In this fiercely argued and acclaimed investigation, Owen Jones dissects the media and political establishment's obsession with the \"chav\" caricature. By exposing the systemic classism behind popular culture and political rhetoric, Jones reveals how stereotyping underprivileged communities serves as a convenient fig leaf for successive governments to ignore deepening economic inequality, industrial decline, and social erosion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54040910561619,"sku":"4368","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/9781839760921.jpg?v=1781860492","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/chavs-the-demonization-of-the-working-class-owen-jones","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
