Dogmatism, prejudice and bigotry are becoming ever more evident in
Western politics. Divisive governments looking to cement their
power strive to close down anyone who disagrees with them:
political opponents, members of their own parties, the mainstream
media, educators, protesters and, ultimately, voters. A Call to
Dissent defends dissent as an essential part of democracy. Stuart
Sim argues that the political left are falling into despair in the
face of growing right-wing populism and extremism, rather than
challenging and standing up to it. Taking a wide view, he
identifies how dissent works in philosophy, religion, science and
the arts as well as in politics. Ultimately, he calls on all of us
to become dissenters ourselves in order to challenge authority and
counter the growth of prejudice and bigotry in public life.
