Working-Class Studies in the United Kingdom
This bibliography was created by Dr. Mike Savage, Department of Sociology, University of Manchester, for the first seminar in Working-Class Lives: Geographies and Sociologies, a two-year series of seminars sponsored by the Economic and Social Research Council in the United Kingdom.  We are grateful to Savage and to the seminar organizers for allowing us to add this bibliography to our site.
