Summary:
"Greater economic and cultural openness in the West has not benefited all of our citizens. Among those who have been left behind, a
populist
politics
of culture and identity has successfully challenged the traditional
politics
of Left and Right, creating a new division: between the mobile 'achieved' identity of the people from Anywhere, and the marginalised, roots-based identity of the people from
Somewhere
. This schism accounts for the Brexit vote, the election of Donald Trump, the decline of the centre-left, and the rise of populism across Europe. David Goodhart's investigation of the new global
politics
reveals how the
Somewhere
backlash is a democratic response to the dominance of Anywhere interests, in everything from mass higher education to mass immigration. Author David Goodhart is the founding editor of Prospect magazine and one of the most distinctive voices on British
politics
today"--Provided by publisher.
