Summary: | This work challenges the field of British cultural studies to return to the question of social class as a primary focus of study. The chapters examine contemporary working-class life and its depiction in the media through a number of case studies on topics such as popular cinema, football, romance magazines and club culture.

The book's contributors conclude that it is time for cultural theorists to revisit issues of workin.
