The Uses of Literacy: Aspects of Working-Class Life by Richard Hoggart

2.0

I read a lot of histories and nonfiction, so I've read my share of academic style texts, but this was much more academic than I was expecting. My current obsession is the history of the British working class in the 20th century, and this book was referenced a lot in my other readings. It truly was not what I was expecting. I would estimate there was about 30 pages total of truly interesting material, and the rest was a lot of referencing old cliches and ramblings that made my eyes glaze over.
