'Delivers its message with punch and panache ... A joy to read' GUARDIAN
'If leftists feel they have been stumbling around in the darkness, Minority Rule flicks on the light' STANDARD
Minority rule (noun): an irrational fear fuelled by right-wing pundits, lobby journalists and billionaires, that minority groups are displacing majority populations.
We all know that the modern world is in crisis. But itβs not just a crisis for the climate, or of living standards β itβs a βblame crisisβ. Whether itβs infighting on the left or the demonisation of immigrants on the right, thereβs always a new talking point to distract us from real, systemic change.
Now is the time to realise that we have been duped into fighting with each other; now is the time to redirect our outrage towards those who deserve it.
In Minority Rule, political commentator Ash Sarkar offers a sharp and lively reality check. Whether itβs exposing the origins of the βwhite working classβ, or examining how βnon-eventsβ have taken over journalism, this book β now with a brand new afterword β will help you break the blame cycle for good.
