the underlying motive for everything I write here is to show how the North can and should be, and for me always has been, a place of endless subtlety, exceptional generosity, fierce loyalty and utopian possibility.”We welcome applications to contribute to UnHerd – please fill out the form below including examples of your previously published work. Little is said, though, about that other great northern tradition: solidarity. As the historian Raphael Samuel wrote of the 1984–85 Miners’ Strike — the longest national dispute in British industrial history and a pivotal moment in northern history that gets little airing in Niven’s work — it was solidarity and community, often as not created amidst the struggle, that were key to the strike.

By telling the story of the North in the last few decades, Alex goes in search of answers to some of the big questions at the forefront of British politics and society today, touching on live issues including the North/South divide, austerity, the impact of Brexit, the collapse of Labour's 'Red Wall', and calls for regional devolution. He concludes with a powerful argument for a revival of northern politics and society by way of what he calls 'radical regionalism'. The inter-textual methodology is crucial to pulp modernism. If pulp modernism first of all asserts the author-function over the creative-expressive subject, it secondly asserts a fictional system against the author-God. By producing a fictional plane of consistency across different texts, the pulp modernist becomes a conduit through which a world can emerge. Once again, Lovecraft is the exemplar here: his tales and novellas could in the end no longer be apprehended as discrete texts but as part-objects forming a mythos-space which other writers could also explore and extend. ALEX: Well partly a sense of anger over many years about exactly this issue – the various forms of disempowerment of the North and of northerners in national politics and culture. But the content of the book is – or tries to be – more positive, in that it looks at a series of examples of people who have tried to dream about a better future for the North, from the Beatles to Andy Burnham. I’ve been thinking about these subjects for a number of years – and researching them in my academic work – so this book was a long-awaited chance to put them down on paper in a way that will hopefully engage with lots of different kinds of people. In November 1569, hundreds of rebels assembled in this Market Place with the aim of re-establishing Catholic worship in the North. They swiftly captured Barnard Castle on the River Tees and widely reinstated the Mass, but by January the rebellion had failed and great numbers had been hanged here and elsewhere as traitors.Throughout The North Will Rise Again, Niven is fond of quoting the German-Jewish philosopher Walter Benjamin as a progressive ally. Yet Benjamin was no mere modernist, as Niven seems to insist. There was a deep and abiding romanticism to his work as well. Much of the NE’s attempts to recover where thwarted by bizarre EEC rules and projects which folded as soon as the funds stopped (see Siemens silicon foundry for a fine example). And yet numerous extra-EU companies are thriving in the area. Interview with Alex Niven “A sort of fierce, buried idealism and soulfulness is at the heart of northern culture” Niven talks to Big Issue North following the Convention of the North and think tank IPPR North’s report comparing the economy of the English North unfavourably with Greece’s, as the IMF announced the UK’s economy would fare worse than any other major economy in the coming year. Needless to say, the words “rise again” were not to be found in the gloomy reports of Britain’s post-Brexit demise. There's a 1978 book by Jeremy Rifkin and Randy Barber entitled The North Will Rise Again: pensions, politics and power in the 1980s, published by Beacon Press.
