THE ROAD TO SOMEWHERE - DAVID GOODHART KARTONIE...

LONGLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE 2018 SUNDAY TIMES  GUARDIAN  TELEGRAPH AND ECONOMIST BOOKS OF
THE YEAR 2017'A provocative take on the UK's new tribal divisions ... a book whose timing is
pitch-perfect' Andrew MarrMany Remainers reported waking up the day after the Brexit vote
feeling as if they were living in a foreign country. In fact  they were merely experiencing the
same feeling that many British people have felt every day for years. Fifty years ago  people in
leafy North London and people in working-class Northern towns could vote for a Labour party
that broadly encompassed all of their interests. Today their priorities are poles apart. In
this groundbreaking and timely book  Goodhart shows us how people have come to be divided into
two camps: the 'Anywheres'  who have 'achieved' identities  derived from their careers and
education  and 'Somewheres'  who get their identity from a sense of place and from the people
around them  and who feel a sense of loss due to mass immigration and rapid social change. In a
world increasingly divided by Brexit and Trump  Goodhart shows how Anywheres must come to
understand and respect Somewhere values to stand a fighting chance against the rise of
populism.
