The Madness of Crowds: Gender, Race and Identity

Douglas Murray looks at the most contentious topics of the twenty-first century, including race, gender, sexuality, and technology. He exposes the startling new culture wars that are being fought in the names of intersectionality, social justice, and identity politics in our homes, businesses, and colleges.

The big narratives of religion and political ideology have shattered in the postmodern era in which we live. The new forms of social and news media have accelerated the emergence of a weaponization of identity and a crusading urge to remedy perceived wrongs. As society grows more and more tribal, narrow interests now dominate the agenda, and as Murray demonstrates, the costs are rising.
