The Madness of Crowds
Gender, Race and Identity
Book • 2019
In this book, Douglas Murray investigates the dangers of 'woke' culture and the rise of identity politics.
He examines the most controversial issues of the current era, including sexuality, gender, technology, and race, and critiques the Marxist foundations of modern social justice movements.
Murray argues that modern attitudes towards these issues have been distorted by a sense of victimhood and the negative impact of political correctness.
The book is divided into sections dealing with different forms of identity politics and includes interludes on the impact of technology and the need to relearn the ability to forgive in an increasingly online culture.
Murray's work has received both praise and criticism, with some reviewers appreciating his bravery and others criticizing his approach as provocative and divisive.
