{"product_id":"9781780990330","title":"Folk Opposition","description":"For David Cameron and ‘Big Society’ Tories, folk culture means organic food, nu-folk pop music, and pastoral myths of Englishness. Meanwhile, postmodern liberal culture teaches us that talking about a singular ‘folk’ is reductive at best, neo-fascist at worst. But what is being held in check by this consensus against the possibility of a unified, oppositional, populist identity taking root in modern Britain? Folk Opposition explores a renewed contemporary divide between rulers and ruled, between a powerful elite and a disempowered populace. Using a series of examples, from folk music to football supporters’ trusts, from Raoul Moat to Ridley Scott, it argues that anti-establishment populism remains a powerful force in British culture, asserting that the left must recapture this cultural territory from the far right and begin to rebuild democratic representation from the bottom up.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Collective Ink","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47177526935792,"sku":"9781780990330","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781780990330_p0.jpg?v=1769890836","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781780990330","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
