Sound bite friendly descriptors\\u2014the \\u2018white working-class\\u2019 or the \\u2018metropolitan elite,\\u2019 for starters\\u2014continue to stand in for deeper appraisals, and thus offer little in the way of lessons.\\n\\nIn his recent Salvage essay, "Brexit From Below: Nation, Race and Class," Jonas Marvin attempts to rise above the fray by offering a perspective that Brexit and its fall out is best understood as a moment in the long term process of class decomposition in Britain.\\n\\nFor this Salvage Live event, Jonas Marvin, Annie Olaloku-Teriba, and Barnaby Raine will use this framework as a starting point to survey the prospects of the British Left post-Brexit and post-Corbyn.\\n\\nRead Jonas Marvin\'s article here: https://salvage.zone/articles/brexit-from-below-nation-race-and-class/\\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\\n\\nJonas Marvin is an independent researcher and activist based in Leeds.\\n\\nAnnie Olaloku-Teriba is a writer and podcaster whose research focuses on how neoliberalism has transformed the theory and practice of \\u2018race.\\u2019\\n\\nBarnaby Raine is writing his PhD at Columbia University on visions of ending capitalism.
