“You’re not working class”
Drawing on 18 semi-structured interviews conducted between 2021 and 2023 with members of four community groups in Newham (East London) and Newcastle, this article explores how forms of liberal identity politics via claims to “authentic marginality” can hinder community organising. My findings show that within liberal and left spaces of community organising injunctions to centre “the most marginalised” reflect a tendency to homogenise the working …
Awaab Ishak and the devaluation of migrant, working-class life
On 21 December 2020, 2-year-old Awaab Ishak died at Royal Oldham Hospital. The inquest concluded that he had died from a severe respiratory condition caused by prolonged exposure to mould. Institutions which ultimately reacted to the case read this death as related to the impact of bad housing on health. The authors argue that Awaab's death emerges through the mechanics of racialised neoliberal capitalism, and the devaluation of working-class lif…

It Shouldn't Happen Here
In September 2012, Save the Children UK launched the It Shouldn't Happen Here campaign, to raise awareness of the incidence of poverty amongst British children, and raise funds for the charity's UK programmes. Shortly after the launch, SCUK experienced severe media and political backlash, as primarily centre and right-wing commentators described the campaign as a political stunt, and sought to discredit, deny and depoliticise the claims that seve…
Taking minority women's activism seriously as epistemic justice
In Minority Women and Austerity, Bassel and Emejulu offer new insights into minority women's experiences of and resistance to austerity in England, Scotland and France, exploring both the material and discursive obstacles that minority women face in their respective contexts. Importantly, the book provides frameworks through which to make sense of these experiences. This review focuses on specific insights put forward by Bassel and Emejulu's work…
Introduction
Between 2007 and 2012 global food price volatility affected millions of people on low and precarious incomes. Research partners from ten developing countries accompanied households in rural and urban sites, from just after the first price spike in 2008, through a second spike in 2011 and into a period of relative price stability until 2014. In this IDS Bulletin we show how a multitude of micro-reactions to rising and unpredictable prices has laid…
Poor Man's Patriarchy
This article argues that rapid recent global economic shocks have revealed a poor man's patriarchy – a washed-out version of ancient male privileges, but yoked to responsibilities poor men can rarely meet. At the same time, norms that helped keep women at home in unpaid care roles have weakened and paid work is an ambition for more and more. Drawing on original research into experiences of food price volatility in ten developing countries in 2012…
