The Victims' Revolution: The Rise of Identity Studies and the Closing of the Liberal Mind by Bruce Bawer
Respected author, critic, and essayist Bruce Bawer--whose previous book, While Europe Slept: How Radical Islam Is Destroying the West from Within, was a New York Times bestseller and a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist--now offers a trenchant and sweeping critique of the sorry state of higher education since the campus revolutions of the late '60s and early '70s. In The Victims' Revolution, Bawer incisively contends that the rise of identity-based college courses and disciplines (Women's Studies, Black Studies, Gay Studies, etc.) forty years ago has resulted in an impoverishment of thought and widespread political confusion, while filling the brains of students with politically correct mush. Timely, controversial, and brilliantly argued, Bawer's The Victims' Revolution is necessary reading for students, educators, and anyone concerned about the contemporary crisis in academia--a serious and important work that stands with other essential books on the subject, like The Shadow University by Alan Kors, Illiberal Education by Dinesh D'Souza, and Allan Bloom's The Closing of the American Mind.
While Europe Slept, by Bruce Bawer, was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award. He is also the author of several volumes of literary criticism, including Diminishing Fictions and The Aspect of Eternity, as well as A Seat at the Table and Stealing Jesus. He's contributed to the New York Times, Washington Post Book World, Wall Street Journal, New Republic, Wilson Quarterly, City Journal, and a variety of other publications. www.brucebawer.com is the author's website.
