Abstract
Residents of left-behind areas are often portrayed as part of a working class that views multiculturalism and liberal social attitudes as ¡®alien and threatening¡¯. However, in his research, James Morrison found that it was the economistic (underinvestment in schools, housing, the NHS, public transport, and jobs), rather than culturalist, diagnosis of ¡®left-behind¡¯ discontent that shaped the narrative adopted by newspapers and politicians.
