About This Item
Richard Hoggart was an academic and a social activist. His seminal work, The Uses of Literacy, was a study of working class culture. He then founded the Centre for Cultural studies at the University of Birmingham. He left to become director of UNESCO in Paris, France. This study looks in depth at the organisation's strengths and weaknesses.
This copy is reasonable for its age. It is clean inside with no marks, but has a dusty top edge and a bit of foxing. The jacket has a spine fade and has evidence on the inside flaps of discolouration. However, signed copies are notably scarce.
