Samenvatting
[from the "blurb": ]
Set up in the 1930s to study everyday life in Britain, Mass-Observation relied on over 2000 voluntary 'observers' from all over the country to produce a popular sociology - by and for the people. Observers sat in pubs, travelled on buses, visited homes, shops and factories, recording what they saw and heard. "Britain", their first book, is amarvellous quirky, vivid portrait of everyday life in the '30s Britain.
Humphrey Spender's startlingly powerful photographs, all taken for the Mass-Observation, are included for the first time in this edition.
