Right now, someone, somewhere is being cancelled. Off-the-cuff
tweets or "harmless" office banter have the potential to wreck
lives. The Left condemns the Right, and the bigotry of the old
elites. The Right complains about brain-dead political correctness,
and the erosion of liberal values. In reality, both sides are
colluding in a reactionary, exclusionary politics that is as
self-defeating as it is divisive. Can the Left escape this
extremism and stay true to the progressive ideals it once
professed? In this provocative book, Umut OEzkirimli reveals how
the Left has been sucked into a spiral of toxic hatred and
outrage-mongering, retreating from the democratic ideals of
freedom, tolerance and pluralism that it purports to represent.
Exploring the similarities between right-wing populism and radical
identity politics, he sets out an alternative vision. It is only by
focusing on our common humanity and working across differences that
the Left will successfully find a constructive and consensual way
back from "woke".
