Folk Opposition

The book delves into the complex relationship between folk culture and contemporary politics in Britain, contrasting the ideals of the 'Big Society' with the realities of disempowerment among the populace. It examines various cultural expressions, such as folk music and grassroots movements, to highlight the ongoing divide between the elite and the masses. The author argues for the necessity of reclaiming anti-establishment populism from the far right, advocating for a renewed focus on democratic representation that emerges from the grassroots level.
