“In The Conspiracy of Good Taste, Stefan Szczelkun writes forcefully of the oppression of classism on working-class people: ‘What I learned was the central and murderous denial of our intellectual capacity which is at the heartless core of class oppression. ‘Calling for a ‘liberatory people-orientated culture,’ Szczelkun urges working-class people to reconnect ‘to the hidden working-class personal and cultural histories that produced us and find ways to heal ourselves from the terrible legacy of hurt left by class oppression.’ “ Janet Zandy.
This is the original hardback edition published in 1993 in an edition of 500 copies. This was the last of Szczelkun's trilogy about class and culture with Working Press: books by and about working class artists.
There is a recent second edition in paperback with colour illustrations and a new conclusion.
Two more recent books by Stefan Szczelkun are developments of chapters in this book. 'Agit Disco' and 'Chalet Fields of the Gower'.
