Description

Book Synopsis
Neighbours, Distrust, and the State shows that in the past, just like now, many poor people 'wanted something done' by government in their communities, examining how they thought about such things as the role of the police, compulsory schooling, housing estates, and other state provisions.

Trade Review
Brodie has taken debates about engagement with stratification within the working class...Rather, Brodie foregrounds the importance of personal attitudes, gender and age in the determination of status. * Daniel Weinbren, The Open University, Family & Community History, Vol. 26/2 *
