David Goodhart’s The Road to Somewhere

Please note that the venue is in the vicinity of the Scott Monument and will be announced closer to the event date. We will NOT be meeting at the monument, itself.

Please join us for a discussion of David Goodhart’s The Road to Somewhere (2017). Here’s a blurb from the publisher:

“In this groundbreaking and timely book, Goodhart shows us how people have come to be divided into two camps: the 'Anywheres', who have 'achieved' identities, derived from their careers and education, and 'Somewheres', who get their identity from a sense of place and from the people around them, and who feel a sense of loss due to mass immigration and rapid social change.

“In a world increasingly divided by Brexit and Trump, Goodhart shows how Anywheres must come to understand and respect Somewhere values to stand a fighting chance against the rise of populism.”

Please read all of chapters 1 (18 pp.) and 9 (19 pp.), and as much as you can of chapter 2, all of which can be found here:

We look forward to a lively discussion!

all the best,

Sonja and Christopher
