FROM OUR CURRENT INDEPENDENT BOOK REVIEW LIST WE HAVE PICKED YET ANOTHER MERITORIOUS RECENT PUBLICATION & THIS IS HEREBY NOW RECOMMENDED BY THE CARL J. KIECK INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH GROUP IN EDUCATION, SOCIETY & CULTURE:
Quote: " ... If we are to truly make sense of what is transforming British politics then we need to spend less time on the misleading narratives that are promoted by the country's elite & spend more time looking at the people who belong to this elite. The transformation of our politics owes less to these fairy tales than to a much deeper & long-running divide in the country, a large & growing rift between a small & powerful 'new elite' & a much larger number of people who are rebelling against this new ruling class & the political project they have imposed on the country over the last 50 years. ... Representing no more than one-quarter of Britain & sometimes overlapping with the old elite, the new elite are held together by their university degrees ... , their financially secure if not prosperous professional & managerial jobs, their urban postcodes in London, the other big cities & the university towns, their parents & partners who belong to the same elite graduate class, their loud & dominant voice in the country's most important institutions & above all, their strongly liberal cosmopolitan or radically progressive values."
