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.
