Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This concise and accessible textbook overviews the place and continuing centrality of the concept of class in cultural studies and sociology.

The book reopens the debates over class and culture that were very nearly closed down in postmodernism. Andrew Milner offers readers a critical introduction to the Marxist and Weberian accounts of class and relates the significance of class in the new social movements. He also looks at class politics and trends in the character of class relations.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 178-193) and index.

The strange death of class -- Marxist theories of class -- Sociological theories of class -- Cultural studies and class -- Class, postmodernism and the intelligentsia.
