Angry White People, by Hsiao-Hung Pai, 2016The bravery of this author, to go into these groups and communities while not being white, is something that I found both amazing and terrifying (for anyone who would be as worried as I was about the welfare of the author, she ends up in some situations which sound quite scary, but never comes to actual harm). She gets stories from people which expose the feelings of loss and alienation - but she also highlights communities which face the same challenges without going to the far right. One of the parts which stuck with me was the same level of anger being expressed at (white) labourers for a building project being brought in by the construction company from several hundred miles away, as was expressed towards non-UK incomers. She gets people’s trust and people’s stories, which lets the narrative unfold naturally, without it feeling like polemic. -- source link
