Críticas
"A passionate and well-documented denunciation of the upper-class contempt for the proles that has recently become so visible in the British class system."--Eric Hobsbawm, "Guardian" "A work of passion, sympathy and moral grace."--Dwight Garner, "New York Times" "A bold attempt to rewind political orthodoxies; to reintroduce class as a political variable ... It moves in and out of postwar British history with great agility, weaving together complex questions of class, culture and identity with a lightness of touch. Jones torches the political class to great effect."--Jon Cruddas, "Book of the Week, Independent" "It is a timely book. The white working class seems to be the one group in society that it is still acceptable to sneer at, ridicule, even incite hatred against ... Forensically ... Jones seeks to explain how, thanks to politics, the working class has shifted from being regarded as 'the salt of the earth to the scum of the earth.'"--Carol Midgley, "Book of the Week, Times" "Superb and angry."--Polly Toynbee, "Guardian" "Seen in the light of the riots and the worldwide Occupy protests, his lucid analysis of a divided society appears uncannily prescient."--Matthew Higgs, "Artforum" "As with all the best polemics, a luminous anger backlights his prose."--"Economist" "Chavs is persuasively argued, and packed full of good reporting and useful information ... [Jones] makes an important contribution to a revivified debate about class."--Lynsey Hanley, "Guardian" "A lively, well-reasoned and informative counterblast to the notion that Britain is now more or less a classless society."--Sean O'Hagan, "Observer" "A trenchant exposure of our new class hatred and what lies behind it."--John Carey, author of "The Intellectuals and the Masses" "The stereotyping and hatred of the working class in Britain, documented so clearly by Owen Jones in this important book, should cause all to flinch.

Reseña del editor
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 groundbreaking investigation, Owen Jones explores how the working class has gone from salt of the earthA" to scum of the earth.A" Exposing the ignorance and prejudice at the heart of the chav caricature, one based on the media's inexhaustible obsession with an indigent white underclass, he portrays a far more complex reality. Moving through Westminster's lobbies and working-class communities from Dagenham to Dewsbury Moor, Jones reveals the increasing poverty and desperation of communities made precarious by wrenching social and industrial change, and all but abandoned by the aspirational, society-fragmenting policies of Thatcherism and New Labour. The chav stereotype, he argues, is used by governments as a convenient figleaf to avoid genuine engagement with social and economic problems, and to justify widening inequality. Based on a wealth of original research, and wide-ranging interviews with media figures, political opinion-formers and workers, Chavs is a damning indictment of the media and political establishment, and an illuminating, disturbing portrait of inequality and class hatred in modern Britain.
