Example text

Family is the primordial allegiance Hoggart brings out. Loyalty to family comes first, a value which manifests in the contempt for the means test officials and magistrates referred to earlier. The attitude is also reified in the working-class aphorisms Hoggart cites throughout the book, such as ‘There’s no place like home’ (1958: 33). An obligation to family comes before class, but the two are intimately intertwined. In these descriptions of family, Hoggart’s discourse of empathy gains momentum.
