Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"The achievement of this book that it is prepared to make a case for such a vision from within the horizons of one of the most cramped, defensive, melancholic and self-destructive corners of the working class landscape." - Universal Siblinghood "[This book] should be an obligatory reading for anyone attempting to understand the increasing anti-establishment resentment against the self-serving elites across the West." Journal of Extreme Anthropology "An honest book that critiques, questions, and debates the relationship between an unfair neo-liberal society, working-class people and the rise of the right". Lisa Mckenzie, London School of Economics & Political Science "If the Western left don't pay heed to what Winlow et al have to say, then it could be curtains forever." Sputnik News "Compelling reading...a provocative, invigorating and critical analysis of contemporary political landscapes where simplistic left/right distinctions no longer apply." Elaine Campbell, Newcastle University 'In their brilliantly-researched work, the authors show what a disaster the 'mainstream' left's embrace of liberalism has been for traditional working-class communities' Neil Clark, journalist. "An unapologetically bleak account of contemporary Britain, cutting angrily and incisively through the thickets of liberal dogma. Essential reading." Mark Carrigan, Digital Fellow, The Sociological Review "This brilliant book shows why the downfall of the left is a post-GFC and post-Brexit condition which, without action, could become permanent." Steve Redhead, Flinders University, Adelaide, South Australia "A fast(er) moving novel take on how New Labour and the liberal left media created the circumstances in which the English Defense League would grow and of how UKIP and the EDL are linked." Danny Dorling, University of Oxford Read more...
