Sarah Lowndes is a writer, lecturer and curator. Research Fellow at Norwich University of the Arts, UK, her previous Routledge books include The DIY Movement in Art, Music and Publishing (2016) and Contemporary Artists Working Outside the City (2018).
This book presents the COVID-19 pandemic as an opportunity to re-assess the neoliberal politics, xenophobia, and racism that have undermined community cohesion in the United Kingdom since 1979, and will appeal to scholars and upper-level students of cultural studies, cultural history, sociology, and politics.
