Now We Have Your Attention: The New Politics of the People
`One of the most important and compelling books I`ve ever read, by one of Britain`s most gifted writers` – OWEN JONESNow We Have Your Attention makes sense of what is happening in British politics by taking a radically different perspective: the people`s.From a warehouse in Manchester to a pub in Essex, from the outskirts of Glasgow to a racecourse in Durham, Jack Shenker takes us on a journey across Britain to uncover the root causes of our current crisis – and the struggles being waged for our future.Shenker shows how a new kind of politics – local, personal and utterly fearless – is evolving beyond the confines of Westminster. Drawing on exceptional access to grassroots movements and rebellious communities, he introduces us to the citizens and leaders of tomorrow.`The picture that unfolds is shocking, but also inspiring, with rays of hope that a better future may be within reach` Noam Chomsky`Shenker`s elegantly written book not only describes how the calamity of Britain today was long in the making, it outlines a future about which one can reasonably feel hope` Pankaj Mishra`The author`s passion…is infectious. You have to applaud him for finding the untold stories` Observer
