Ash Sarkar: In Conversation

Join political commentator Ash Sarkar to discuss her explosive Sunday Times bestselling debut Minority Rule, which reveals how the collective power of ordinary people is under attack

Minority rule (noun): an irrational fear fuelled by right-wing pundits, lobby journalists and billionaires, that minority groups are displacing majority populations.

We all know that the modern world is in crisis. But it’s not just a crisis for the climate, or of living standards – it’s a ‘blame crisis’. Whether it’s infighting on the left or the demonisation of immigrants on the right, there’s always a new talking point to distract us from real, necessary, systemic change.

Now is the time to realise that we have been duped into fighting with each other; now is the time to redirect our outrage towards those who deserve it.

In Minority Rule, leading political commentator Ash Sarkar offers a sharp and lively reality check. Whether it’s exposing the origins of the ‘white working class’ label, or examining how ‘non- events’ have taken over journalism, this book – now with a brand-new afterword – will help you break the blame cycle for good.

Rarely far from the heat of British political conversation, Ash Sarkar, journalist, broadcaster, and author of the Sunday Times bestseller Minority Rule: Adventures In The Culture War.

Known for her outspoken commentary and insightful political writing, Sarkar has been published in the Guardian, the Independent and Novara Media, where she is a contributing editor. She is a regular guest on shows including BBC Radio 4’s The Moral Maze, and BBC Question time. Writer Naomi Klein called her ‘one of the boldest and most exciting thinkers of her generation’.

This event will include an interview, audience Q&A and book signing
