The Madness of Crowds
Categories: Politics & Social Sciences
British writer Douglas Murray examines the rise of identity politics, which he argues is dividing Western societies. His 2019 book takes up sexuality, gender and race, with interludes on the Marxist roots of what he calls wokeness. Murray also looks at how technology shapes these debates and argues that, in an increasingly online culture, people must relearn how to forgive. This edition adds an afterword responding to the book's reception and to the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests.
