Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: London : Bloomsbury Continuum, 2019Description: 280 pages ; 24 cm.ISBN: 9781472959959 (hbk.) :.Classification number: 306 MURSubject(s): Political correctness | Social justice | Sociology -- Philosophy | Society | SocietySummary: In his devastating book 'The Madness of Crowds,' Douglas Murray examines the twenty-first century's most divisive issues: sexuality, gender, technology and race. He reveals the astonishing new culture wars playing out in our workplaces, universities, schools and homes in the names of social justice, identity politics and 'ntersectionality'. We are living through a postmodern era in which the grand narratives of religion and political ideology have collapsed. In their place have emerged a crusading desire to right perceived wrongs and a weaponization of identity, both accelerated by the new forms of social and news media. Narrow sets of interests now dominate the agenda as society becomes more and more tribal - and, as Murray shows, the casualties are mounting.
