Verwandte Artikel zu Chavs: The Demonization of the Working Class
Inhaltsangabe
In modern Britain, the working class has become an object of fear and ridicule. From Little Britain's Vicky Pollard to the demonization of Jade Goody, media and politicians alike dismiss as feckless, criminalized and ignorant a vast, underprivileged swathe of society whose members have become stereotyped by one, hate-filled word: chavs.
In this groundbreaking investigation, Owen Jones explores how the working class has gone from "salt of the earth" to "scum of the earth." Exposing the ignorance and prejudice at the heart of the chav caricature, one based on the media's inexhaustible obsession with an indigent white underclass, he portrays a far more complex reality. Moving through Westminster's lobbies and working-class communities from Dagenham to Dewsbury Moor, Jones reveals the increasing poverty and desperation of communities made precarious by wrenching social and industrial change, and all but abandoned by the aspirational, society-fragmenting policies of Thatcherism and New Labour. The chav stereotype, he argues, is used by governments as a convenient figleaf to avoid genuine engagement with social and economic problems, and to justify widening inequality.
Based on a wealth of original research, and wide-ranging interviews with media figures, political opinion-formers and workers, Chavs is a damning indictment of the media and political establishment, and an illuminating, disturbing portrait of inequality and class hatred in modern Britain.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Zustand: Bueno. : En la Gran Bretaña moderna, la clase trabajadora se ha convertido en objeto de temor y ridículo. Desde Vicky Pollard de Little Britain hasta la demonización de Jade Goody, los medios de comunicación y los políticos por igual desestiman como irresponsable, criminalizada e ignorante a una vasta franja desfavorecida de la sociedad cuyos miembros se han estereotipado con una palabra llena de odio: chavs. En esta innovadora investigación, Owen Jones explora cómo la clase trabajadora ha pasado de ser la "sal de la tierra" a la "escoria de la tierra". Exponiendo la ignorancia y los prejuicios en el corazón de la caricatura de los chavs, basada en la inagotable obsesión de los medios de comunicación por una subclase blanca indigente, retrata una realidad mucho más compleja. A través de los vestíbulos de Westminster y las comunidades de clase trabajadora desde Dagenham hasta Dewsbury Moor, Jones revela la creciente pobreza y desesperación de las comunidades precarizadas por el cambio social e industrial, y casi abandonadas por las políticas de Thatcherismo y Nuevo Laborismo que fragmentan la sociedad. El estereotipo de los chavs, argumenta, es utilizado por los gobiernos como una conveniente hoja de parra para evitar un compromiso genuino con los problemas sociales y económicos, y para justificar la creciente desigualdad. Basado en una gran cantidad de investigación original y amplias entrevistas con figuras de los medios de comunicación, formadores de opinión política y trabajadores, Chavs es una condena mordaz de los medios de comunicación y el establishment político, y un retrato iluminador e inquietante de la desigualdad y el odio de clase en la Gran Bretaña moderna.
