Description
In this incisive cultural critique, Owen Jones examines the systematic vilification of the British working class through the lens of media representation and political discourse. By tracing the evolution of the 'chav' caricature, the author exposes how socioeconomic stereotypes have been weaponized to justify the erosion of social welfare and the marginalization of vulnerable communities in contemporary society.
