Inhaltsangabe
In modern Britain, the working class has become an object of fear and ridicule. From Little Britain's Vicky Pollard to the demonization of Jade Goody, media and politicians alike dismiss as feckless, criminalized and ignorant a vast, underprivileged swathe of society whose members have become stereotyped by one, hate-filled word: chavs.
In this acclaimed investigation, Owen Jones explores how the working class has gone from "salt of the earth" to "scum of the earth." Exposing the ignorance and prejudice at the heart of the chav caricature, he portrays a far more complex reality. The chav stereotype, he argues, is used by governments as a convenient fig leaf to avoid genuine engagement with social and economic problems and to justify widening inequality.
When Chavs was first published in 2011 it opened up the discussion of class in Britain. Then, in the public debate after the riots of that summer, Owen Jones's thesis was proved right-the working class were the scapegoats for everything that was wrong with Britain.
This new edition includes a new chapter, reflecting on the overwhelming response to the book and the situation in Britain today.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Zustand: Como nuevo. : En la Gran Bretaña moderna, la clase trabajadora se ha convertido en objeto de temor y ridículo. Desde Vicky Pollard de Little Britain hasta la demonización de Jade Goody, los medios de comunicación y los políticos por igual desestiman como irresponsable, criminalizada e ignorante a una vasta franja de la sociedad desfavorecida cuyos miembros se han estereotipado con una palabra llena de odio: chavs. En esta aclamada investigación, Owen Jones explora cómo la clase trabajadora ha pasado de ser la sal de la tierra a la escoria de la tierra. Exponiendo la ignorancia y los prejuicios en el corazón de la caricatura de los chavs, retrata una realidad mucho más compleja. El estereotipo de los chavs, argumenta, es utilizado por los gobiernos como una conveniente hoja de parra para evitar un compromiso genuino con los problemas sociales y económicos y para justificar la creciente desigualdad.
