‘Doug Stokes's book forensically dissects the ideas and practices concerning race, equality, identity and grievance, which are having such an explosive impact on our intellectual and cultural life. Whatever one's sentiments and sympathies, this is a concise and lucid guide to what lies behind the “culture war”.’ Robert Tombs, University of Cambridge ‘A highly insightful and persuasive contribution to the ongoing global debate about race, equality and decolonisation, going far beyond the walls of academia into wider institutions and the international world order.’ Munira Mirza, former head of the No. 10 Policy Unit and CEO of Civic Future ‘Doug Stokes’s incisive analysis of the threat posed by critical theory to wider society, particularly the universities, should stand at the top of every reading list about racism, gender and attempts to “decolonise” the curriculum.’ David Abulafia, University of Cambridge
