| Summary/Abstract |
The New Politics of Class by Geoffrey Evans and James Tilley is a new and noteworthy contribution to the huge literature on the impact of social class on voting and elections in Great Britain. For anyone interested in British party politics, the book makes interesting reading. The New Politics of Class (hereafter NPC) presents a challenging argument about the evolution of class politics in Britain over the past half-century. Evans and Tilley's analyses and interpretations raise a large number of controversial issues that deserve careful consideration by experts in the field. Well organised and clearly written, the book will appeal to a broad audience of social scientists, journalists, students and interested laypersons. Relying heavily on simple graphs to present supporting quantitative evidence, NPC is readily accessible to anyone lacking technical training in sophisticated statistical methods.
