Event overview
Goldsmiths Writers' Centre presents...Culture and solidarity: Tommy Sissons in conversation with Joelle Taylor
Tommy Sissons' A Small Man’s England is a polemic aimed at the structures of hierarchy that ceaselessly maintain power across Britain and elsewhere, and a call for multicultural solidarity amongst the working class.
Discerningly exploring a medley of non-fiction, prose and poetry, Sissons studies the conditions of contemporary working-class life and analyses the roles that class, race, masculinity and nationality play in neoliberal Britain. In doing this, Sissons offers a solution to the indoctrination of white working-class English men by the right and the far-right, and explores how working-class people can collectively shape a “Common England” — a country based on equality and justice for all. He will be in conversation with Joelle Taylor, award-winning poet, playwright, author and editor.
