The Victims' Revolution: The Rise of Identity Studies and the Closing of the Liberal Mind

Respected author, critic, and essayist Bruce Bawerâ€”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 finalistâ€”now offers a trenchant and sweeping critique of the sorry state of higher education since the campus revolutions of the late â€™60s and early â€™70s. In The Victimsâ€™ Revolution, Bawer incisively contends that the rise of identity-based college courses and disciplines (Womenâ€™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, Bawerâ€™s The Victimsâ€™ Revolution is necessary reading for students, educators, and anyone concerned about the contemporary crisis in academiaâ€”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 Dâ€™Souza, andÂ Allan Bloomâ€™s The Closing of the American Mind.
