English Uprising

The book explores the rise of far-right ideologies in Britain and their impact on politics, culminating in the significant Brexit vote.

In English Uprising, Paul Stocker delves into the seismic shift in British politics that led to the Brexit vote, which many view as a significant expression of discontent with the political establishment. He explores the historical context that has allowed far-right ideologies to transition from the fringes to the center of political discourse in the UK. Through meticulous research and compelling narratives, Stocker uncovers the factors that have contributed to this transformation over several decades.

The book takes a closer look at the evolution of nationalist sentiments and how they have been woven into the fabric of contemporary British society. Stocker argues that the rise of these ideas reflects a deeper cultural shift, where traditional political boundaries have been blurred, and populist rhetoric has found fertile ground. He highlights key events, movements, and figures that have played pivotal roles in this ideological journey, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the forces at play.

English Uprising not only examines the implications of this shift for the future of British politics but also raises important questions about identity, belonging, and the nature of democracy itself. Stocker’s insightful analysis invites readers to reflect on the current political landscape and consider the long-term consequences of the changes initiated by the Brexit vote.
