One of Australia’s most prominent left-wing
writers and editors, Jeff Sparrow is known
for writing that both interrogates and
challenges, and this book certainly does
both. In Trigger Warnings, he analyses the
angry populism that is prospering in the
Western world, a populism that explicitly
targets ideas associated with the left and
categorises them as ‘political correctness’.
Should the left abandon political correctness
and everything associated with it to
reconnect with a working class it has
alienated and turn the tide on right-wing
populism? Here, Sparrow suggests a
different path, positing the possibility of a
new kind of politics – one that moves away
from the binary rhetoric being bandied about
so freely today.
