Description
The Left Behind: A Critical Reimagining of Britain's Socially Excluded By James Morrison Pluto Press, 2022 294 pages, paperback This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the concept of 'the Left Behind', a term that has become a defining motif in contemporary British politics. Morrison examines how this idea is used to symbolize and fuel social divisions in Britain today. He delves into the origins and meanings of the term, situating it within a broader context of demonizing discourses aimed at marginalized communities. Through an analysis of national newspaper coverage, parliamentary discussions, and interviews with experts and individuals affected by poverty and precarity, Morrison sheds light on the real human cost of austerity policies in post-industrial communities. The book provides a nuanced understanding of the stigmatizing discourse surrounding these groups and its impact on their lives.
