Publisher's Synopsis
First published in 1998. This is Volume XXI, the final of the twenty-one in the Race, Class and Social Structure series and takes as its subject the general notions raised by a series of studies of working class communities in Yorkshire in Northern England. This book is an attempt to exemplify why these voices matter, why we should hear them. They are all working-class voices. Following their leads, the author seeks a dozen ways to define the qualities, good or bad, of working-class life: the styles of living that it offers us.
