Professor Jonathan Parry's magnum opus, spanning 732 pages and drawn from twenty-one years of fieldwork, combines rigorous sociological analysis with compelling narrative that reads like an epic novel. The work explores how manual workers form distinct social classes with separate identities and sometimes opposing interests, offering profound insights into labour stratification, community life, and economic structures. Enhanced with diagrams and photographs, this classic in social sciences scholarship presents meticulous ethnographic data alongside literary depth, making it essential reading for researchers in labour history, sociology, anthropology, and economic development studies.
