An exploration of white working-class English men, showing how and why some have been captured by the far-right and what the left can do about it.

IS THE WHITE WORKING CLASS RIGHT-WING? AND IS IT RIGHT-WING TO EVEN SPEAK OF A "WHITE WORKING CLASS"?

In recent decades, as class consciousness has been suppressed and eroded, many white working-class men have turned their backs on the left in favour of the right and the far-right. Why is this?

A Small Man's England is a polemic aimed at the structures of hierarchy that ceaselessly maintain power across Britain and elsewhere, and a call for multicultural solidarity amongst the working class. In analysing the roles that class, race, masculinity and nationality play in neoliberal Britain, Sissons offers a solution to the indoctrination of white working-class English men by the right and the far-right, and explores how working-class people can collectively shape a "Common England" -- a country based on equality and justice for all.

Tommy Sissons is a writer, poet and educator living in London. His debut polemic A Small Man’s England was published by Repeater Books in 2021 and his poetry has been featured in a variety of journals, including The Poetry Review. Sissons is also the editor of GRASS Magazine, a publication specialising in working-class literature and art. He has toured his spoken-word poetry across Europe and has delivered talks on youth culture and education at numerous institutions, including the V&A Museum, the University of Sussex and Sheffield Hallam University.
