Know Your Place: Essays on the Working Class by the Working Class by Nathan Connolly
4.0
This was an excellent collection. As with any anthology, there were some stories that resonated with me more than others. There were several essays that talked about art and literature and working in those fields as a working class person; it’d have been nice to see something more from a STEM perspective in the mix. Lots of highlights, though, that really provided a fresh view on things I’d never really considered before.
My personal favourites, to give you an idea of what’s here:
My Jobs, My Lives: Britain’s Invisible Black Middle Class by Sylvia Arthur
Disguised Malicious Murder: The Working Class And Mental Health by Rebecca Winson
The Housework Issue (The Other One) by Cath Bore (about attitudes to cleaning work)
What Colour Is A Chameleon? by Rym Kechacha (about accents and language)
Highly recommended.
