Description
A Small Man's England by Tommy Sissons is a thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationships between class, race, masculinity, and nationality in neoliberal Britain. The book examines how the structures of hierarchy that maintain power across the country have led to the erosion of class consciousness and the rise of the far-right among white working-class men. Sissons argues that a solution to this phenomenon lies in promoting multicultural solidarity amongst the working class, and in creating a "Common England" based on equality and justice for all. This polemic offers a nuanced analysis of the factors that have contributed to the indoctrination of white working-class English men by the right and the far-right. By shedding light on the complex issues at play, Sissons provides a compelling call to action for working-class people to collectively shape a more equitable future.
