La classe n'est pas seulement parmi les concepts les plus anciens et les plus controversés en sciences sociales, mais aussi un sujet qui a fasciné, amusé, irrité et galvanisé le grand public. Mais qu'est-ce qu'une ‘classe’? Comment les sociologues l'étudient-ils et mesurent-ils, et comment correspond-il aux compréhensions quotidiennes de la différence sociale ? Est-il maintenant mort ou mourant dans le monde mondialisé et saturé de médias d'aujourd'hui, ou entre-t-il dans une nouvelle phase de signification sur la scène mondiale ?
Ce livre cherche à explorer ces questions d'une manière accessible et vivante, en prenant les lecteurs à travers les principales traditions théoriques de la recherche en classe, les principales controverses qui ont secoué le champ et les effets continus de la différence de classe, de la lutte de classe et de l'inégalité de classe dans un éventail de domaines.
Le livre plaira aux étudiants et aux universitaires en sociologie, politique sociale, géographie, éducation, études culturelles et sciences de la santé.

Class is not only amongst the oldest and most controversial of all concepts in social science, but a topic which has fascinated, amused, incensed and galvanized the general public, too. But what exactly is a class ? How do sociologists study and measure it, and how does it correspond to everyday understandings of social difference? Is it now dead or dying in today s globalized and media–saturated world, or is it entering a new phase of significance on the world stage?
This book seeks to explore these questions in an accessible and lively manner, taking readers through the key theoretical traditions in class research, the major controversies that have shaken the field and the continuing effects of class difference, class struggle and class inequality across a range of domains.
The book will appeal to students and scholars in sociology, social policy, geography, education, cultural studies and health sciences.
"In this book Will Atkinson offers a brilliant tour of class analysis, covering the core theoretical debates and also the key research areas of social mobility, education, health and politics. The book is also a powerful argument that Marxist and Nuffield–based approaches are losing ground to Bourdieusian perspectives which everyone interested in this key topic will need to engage with."
Mike Savage, The London School of Economics and Political Science
"Class is a major contribution to our understanding of the intricate and far–reaching workings of social class in contemporary society. Combining a panoramic overview with forensic scrutiny, this book is a must–read, not only for those trying to make sense of a contested concept, but for everyone interested in social and economic inequalities."
Diane Reay, University of Cambridge
