During the 2019 general election, we witnessed countless white working-class voters swap their allegiance from the left to the right. Fascism is on the rise once more across the world. Forty years of neoliberalism have shattered traditional class consciousness and white working0class Englishmen are seizing whatever sense of identity they can; a belonging often formed on nationality rather than circumstance. A Small Man' s England pins a microscope on the conditions of white working-class Englishman, and is a rallying cry for the reconciliation and common struggle of all oppressed demographics. The legacy left by Margaret Thatcher continues to haunt our country and, in facing this head on, we may collectively turn the tide of capitalist England.
"The most thoughtful intervention on white working-class masculinity I' ve come across in a long time. The author advances a compelling vision of what we can be. I felt addressed throughout. " "Tommy Sissons' is a rare voice exploring white working-class masculinity in these turbulent times. He looks through the cracks opening and shouts ' listen' , so please do. " "Tommy' s writing is clear, his thinking is original, his passion is deeply felt. He' s always moved me as a poet, and now as a writer of prose I find him carefully considered, strong in his morals and aware of the complexities within the subjects he discusses. "
