Minority Rule

Adventures in the Culture War

Beschreibung

In this ground-breaking book, Ash Sarkar explores how the Minority Rule project has taken over our politics by stoking fear and panic in our media landscape: how liberal elites are silencing the 'forgotten' working class, how the urban young are waging war on the nation's cultural institutions, and how cancel culture is threatening free speech. She has named this the Minority Rule project.
Powerful, insightful and ultimately hopeful, Minority Rule breaks down how the right has misrepresented true victimhood and aims to redirect outrage to those who deserve it.

Rezensionen

An exegesis of the playbook of the right ... [Sarkar] is one of the most refreshing, salient voices on the left. For many progressives, the last decade has felt like something akin to a slow descent into madness, or falling victim to a collective, large-scale gaslighting campaign. With spectacular clarity and genuine wit, Sarkar puts her arm around their shoulders, offers a little tough love, and invites them to step out of the mist. If leftists feel they have been stumbling around in the darkness, Minority Rule flicks on the light
