Trade Review
"An acute and nuanced interrogator of contemporary prejudices, Nesrine Malik writes with immense moral courage and intellectual power." -- Pankaj Mishra, author of Age of Anger
"Malik invites readers to analyze the media environment and political and cultural landscape of the early 21st century, with a keen, critical eye. … This volume is worth reading and rereading. ... Readers seeking a high-level analysis of political discourse will most appreciate Malik’s work." -- Sarah Schroeder - Library Journal (starred review)
"A persuasive debunking of political and cultural myths that impede social justice in the U.S. and U.K. …This is a lucid reminder that the fight for equality is a battle of ideas." -- Publishers Weekly
"Malik presents fierce opinions and cogent observations that deliver a deeply intelligent and powerfully provocative work that calls into question long-held beliefs of both the left and the right." -- Booklist
