Jason Cowley is an award-winning journalist, magazine editor and writer. He has been widely credited with transforming the fortunes of the New Statesman, both as a magazine and website. In 2020 he was voted editor of the year (politics and current affairs) for the fourth time at the British Society of Magazine Editors awards.
Jason Cowley's well-researched reports and excellent analysis of modern England lead to two inexorable conclusions. We - the people of England - are certainly not who we once were; and we are far from agreeing who we mean when we talk of us. Fascinating, disturbing and brilliantly insightful, especially on towns like Harlow in Essex which are not so much left behind, as overlooked and ignored. -- <font face= verdana, tahoma ><span>Gavin Esler, author of <i>How Britain Ends</i></span></font> A beautiful piece of storytelling - the British eyed from unexpected places, from China to the middle of the middle of the middle. The question will never go away but these answers help us a lot -- <span>Andrew Marr</span> A trenchant, but also moving, personal analysis of why England has become so divided, which finds hope for the future in the compassion for others that characterized the pandemic. -- <span>Caroline Sanderson</span> * Bookseller Ones to Watch * Engaging . . . This is an important and readable book - a rare combination. -- <font face= verdana, tahoma ><span>Neill Denny</span></font> * BookBrunch *
