No-No Guide to Class, Caste & Hierarchies
By Jeremy Seabrook
Have you seen the full range of No-Nonsense Guides and the No-Nonsense Library?
Despite two centuries of industrialization, social relationships still tend to be defined by whether you are an owner, a manager or a shop-floor worker. In older but less industrialised societies, notably India, the caste system defines inherited positions in society.
In totalitarian regimes, a hierarchical structure is created through party allegiance, bureaucratic or military rank. In the US everyone is 'middle class' - except of course those who don't work, are homeless and poor. They are the 'underclass', a fate almost worse than death. In this No-Nonsense Guide, Jeremy Seabrook asks who is to guarantee social justice.
Diagrams, charts and graphs used throughout to illustrate key information.
