Change, Continuity and Class offers the reader the most up-to-date synthesis and critical evaluation of current and recent debates in modern British social and labor history. Issues of change and continuity, class, gender and difference, and the overall place and role of labor in modern British society constitute the central concerns of the book. The author takes issue with recent linguistic and liberal "turns," vigorously making the case for the centrality of class and change to modern history. A selection of documents usefully illustrates the main themes of the book.
