Grand social processes, such as urbanization, industrialization and democratization, blurred the previous sharp distinctions that had divided society. This massive transformation is central to our understanding of modern society. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eComparing the British and Dutch experience of mass society in the twentieth century, this book considers five major areas: politics, welfare, media, leisure and youth culture. In each section, two well-known specialists - one from each country - examine the conditions behind the rise of a mass society, and show how these conditions were distinctively British or Dutch. Drawing on history, cultural studies and sociology, the authors bring new insight into the development of modern European society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bob Moore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845205251\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845205256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berg Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.18h x 6.37w x 0.71d","brand":"Bob Moore","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48153851756799,"sku":"9781845205256","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_629b9806-c950-4693-99b5-a9f03c4f6c3d.jpg?v=1770786261","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/twentieth-century-mass-society-in-britain-bob-moore-9781845205256","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
