| Annotation | In this volume, eight essays by academics point to the paradoxical and hypocritical ways in which the ruling classes speak for the white working class on the one hand, and how they speak about them on the other. Themes examined are: class in the 21st century; education and educational underachievement; the racialisation of "chav" and "hoodie" youths by the media; social class relations; social and council housing provision; and representations of the "indigenous white working class". The last essay considers to whom the white working class is losing out in housing, health and other service provision - and it is to the wealthier rather than to migrants or other minority ethnic groups.
