On Saturday evening, I’ll be hosting the London book launch for An Injury to All: The Unmaking of the British Working Class at SOAS at 16.30 in B203 Brunei Gallery. The event is a double launch, also featuring @m00dyjonas' new book, The Breaking of the English Working Class.
So pleased 2 receive a card from someone who was at the conference to tell me it challenged their previously held view that academia is disconnected from everyday life -I've emailed them to say thanks & 2 let them know that other conferences are not like ours 😉&its cos we're w/c

Well said @bureaucatliu!
Political movements cannot be controlled by trying to cater to everyone’s individual feelings, shaming and cancelling people when they are not affirmed. I know that might sound harsh (because we should interpersonally of course care for each other), but we are trying to build collective power to take on a violent and oppressive economic SYSTEM.
It is part of the same stifling culture of ‘no debate’ etc. These attitudes produce cliques-not powerful robust movements. There is nothing radical about this kind of behaviour.
Tiny cultish type organisations have tried to cancel me for saying things like this 🤣

I've contributed a short chapter on British working-class masculinity, council estates & concrete to this really excellent new edited collection. Kat & Dee have done a brilliant job with the book on a really vital (& relevant) topic. Please give it a read!
