Chavs: The Demonization of the Working Class

"Superb and angry." Polly Toynbee, Guardian; "A work of passion, sympathy and moral grace." Dwight Garner, New York Times; "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 timely book." Book of the Week, The Times; "A blinding read." Suzanne Moore, Guardian; "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." Jon Cruddas, Book of the Week, Independent; "A lively, well-reasoned and informative counterblast to the notion that Britain is now more or less a classless society." Sean O'Hagan, Observer.
