'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 it's not just a crisis for the climate, or of living standards - it's a 'blame crisis'. Whether it's infighting on the left or the demonisation of immigrants on the right, there's 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 it's exposing the origins of the 'white working class', or examining how 'non-events' have taken over journalism, this book - now with a brand new afterword - will help you break the blame cycle for good.

Recenzii
Ash Sarkar is one of the boldest and most exciting thinkers of her generation
A brilliantly bracing polemic
An exegesis of the playbook of the right ... [Sarkar] is one of the most refreshing, salient voices on the left. For many progressives, the last decade has felt like something akin to a slow descent into madness, or falling victim to a collective, large-scale gaslighting campaign. With spectacular clarity and genuine wit, Sarkar puts her arm around their shoulders, offers a little tough love, and invites them to step out of the mist. If leftists feel they have been stumbling around in the darkness, Minority Rule flicks on the light
Sarkar has the inestimable advantage of being right ... We've been had. The truth is not online. The truth is about who owns what - and who doesn't ... Changing the world, as Marx famously said, is the point. But how? Sarkar's gambit would appear to be, start by getting people to see the world clearly. Minority Rule is a good start ... Sarkar is candid; she examines her own past errors. She is often funny ... Pick up this book. The future is at stake
A Marxist critique of left-liberal politics that delivers its message with punch and panache ... She prosecutes her case with more panache and punchiness, more hilarity, than is usual from the dour quarters of British political punditry. Her hyper-caffeinated prose and acid observations are unquestionably a joy to read ... Sarkar cultivates the image of a sassy social commentator, a sort of Tariq Ali of looking at your phone a lot
Original, vivid, reflective ... Feels like it's written by a really sage old philosopher, sequestered away in the corner of the university, but who is somehow across pop culture to be able to make references that you find funny and have touchstones with ... A marvellous piece of writing
I love a book which confounds your expectations. And Minority Rule is definitely that. It's the sort of book actually you wish you'd written. I really recommend it. Ash is a truly original thinker: unafraid to have something uncomfortable to say to her own side, which to me, is one of the marks of any political book which is worth reading
Her analysis is painfully true - it's brave and honest and the Left needs to hear this, especially from one of their own
A lively analysis of how the ruling classes purposefully misdirect political blame
This book is a timely investigation of how our culture, in its broadest sense, supports ideas that favour the ruling class . Ash Sarkar's book is essential reading - and time is short!
One of the most charismatic and compelling commentators in British politics for years now ... With the alt right seemingly winning the battle for hearts and minds around the west, Minority Rule is a necessary and welcome salvo from the other side
In a book that will likely do what Owen Jones's Chavs: The Demonization of the Working Class and Reni Eddo-Lodge's Why I'm No Longer To White People About Race did to shift the political dial, Sarkar's debut looks at a world defined by inequality, insecurity, information overload and lack of community
A thrilling polemic-meets-memoir, which identifies who really wins when the marginalised and the exploited turn on one another, and is not afraid to name names
In her timely book, the political commentator Ash Sarkar addresses the fear that minorities are trying to overturn and oppress majority populations
'An examination of the way British Conservatives and American Republicans have stoked fears of a "takeover by marginalised groups"'
'Look out for the story of ... the rise of the culture wars'
'[An] urgent dissection of the deafening culture of distraction stoked by the ruling minority in the UK, and around the world'
