This is my paper given as part of the Movement for Cultural Democracy panel at the Raymond Williams Society Conference in Manchester on 26th April 2019. It’s a mash up of some previous work but I think it is a succinct account of where my thinking is at about cultural democracy and working-class culture.

This is the fifth section of the first chapter of my as yet unpublished book. The conclusion to this sample chapter will be published later today.
