Beschreibung
Following the killing of George Floyd in 2020, a moral panic gripped the US and UK. To atone for an alleged history of racism, statues were torn down and symbols of national identity attacked. Across Universities, fringe theories became the new orthodoxy with a cadre of activists, backed by university technocrats, adopting a binary worldview of moral certainty, sin, and deconstructive redemption through Western self-erasure. This hard-hitting book surveys these developments for the first time. It unpacks and challenges the theories and arguments deployed by 'decolonisers' in a university system now characterised by garbled leadership and illiberal groupthink. The desire to question the West's sense of itself, deconstruct its narratives, and overthrow its institutional order is an impulse that, ironically, was underpinned by a more confident and assured Western hegemony that is now waning and under great strain. If its light continues to dim, who or what will carry the torch for human freedom and progress? von Stokes, Doug
