A Financial Times Summer Read 2025A BBC Radio 4 Book of the WeekEssential reading- TelegraphNot just well timed but admirably powerful- The GuardianA calm, sensitive, soothingly sociological book- The Sunday TimesWill change how you see Britain- Robert Ford, author of Brexitland________Underdogs is a surprising journey into the heart of the misunderstood white working class. And it might just change how you see Britain.While Brexit helped to turn the white working class into a social and political force, in its aftermath one-third of the population has been reduced to a caricature. Portrayed as angry and hostile to change, as xenophobic, even racist, its a tired narrative favoured by both politicians and the press.The truth is far more compelling.In Underdogs, Economist journalist Joel Budd takes us across the UK, from the shores of Teesside to the Isle of Wight, from the Valleys of South Wales to the fields of Lincolnshire, talking with a diverse group of people about their jobs, their families and neighbourhoods, their struggles and hopes.Offering an eye-opening corrective to the familiar stereotype, Budd discovers the white working class are not just grumbling about the transformation of Britain. With warmth and determination, they are pushing the country forward.

Die deutsche Kolonialgeschichte wahrte ganze 35 Jahre. Erst 1884 begann das Deutsche Kaiserreich, auf dem afrikanischen Kontinent sogenannte Schutzgebiete zu errichten, verlor diese aber bereits 1919 an die Siegermachte des Ersten Weltkriegs. Mit dem Ende des Kolonialismus jedoch, so wollen uns postkoloniale Aktivisten und ihre universitaren oder musealen Stichwortgeber weismachen, kamen Ausbeutung, Kunstraub, Versklavung und Rassismus keineswegs zu einem Ende. Sie leben angeblich im postkolonialen Zeitalter fort, nur raffinierter. Da gibt es viel wiedergutzumachen.Mathias Brodkorb hat sich auf den Weg begeben und die Hotspots der postkolonialen Wiedergutmachung im deutschsprachigen Raum aufgesucht, die ehemaligen Volkerkundemuseen. Statt ihrer Aufgabe des Sammelns, Bewahrens, Erforschens und Ausstellens nachzugehen, sind sie vorrangig mit der Verfertigung des eigenen guten Gewissens beschaftigt. Zu diesem Zweck werden nicht nur Fakten verschwiegen, die nicht ins Bild passen, sondern mitunter auch historische Dokumente verfalscht. Viele Museen sind zu Ideologiemaschinen geworden um den weien Westen einer ewigen Schuld zu uberfuhren.
