Brexit and the New Global Rebellion
'Make no mistake: The “Leave” vote was a rejection of globalization,
at least as it’s currently structured. This was a revolt of working
class Britons who have seen their postwar prosperity erode around them and their social contract eviscerated by the corporate and financial oligarchy.
But it was also the sign of a darker and more sinister worldwide
phenomenon: the resurgence of global nativism and xenophobia. This
worldwide turn toward fear of the Other is globalization’s shadow self.'
