CITIZENSHIP AND SOCIAL CLASS (Pluto Classics) - Softcover

Over forty years after it first appeared, T.H. Marshall's seminal essay on citizenship and social class in postwar Britain has acquired the status of a classic. His lucid analysis of the principal elements of citizenship--namely the possession of civil, political, and social rights--is as relevant today as it was when it first appeared. This edition includes complementary material from Tom Bottomore that brings the work into a more contemporary context.

T.H. Marshall was Professor of Sociology at the London School of Economics, then director of the Social Sciences Department at UNECSO and President of the International Sociological Assoiciation from 1959 to 1962.
