Abstract

Following the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, the resurgence of the far right, evident from the late 1990s across Europe, the United States and Australia, appeared to escalate. At this time, it became popular to associate the ‘rise’ of the Right with some form of ‘alienation’ of the white working class. The grievances and anger of this group, it has been said, results from the dislocation of the white working class caused by deindustrialisation and other dynamics of globalisation which have destabilised established social relations and further eroded the position of the white working class.
