This excellent book engages with a highly contested area in a way that is both accessible and fascinating.’ Diane Reay, University of Cambridge ‘Atkinson’s book accomplishes two crucially important things: it explains why the concept of class is so confusing and, seemingly, muddled, while simultaneously demonstrating that it remains absolutely indispensable to social scientific research. This is a clear, cogent and, above all, useful book.’ Elliot B. Weininger, The State University of New York, Brockport Author InformationWill Atkinson is Professor of Sociology at the University of Bristol.
