Ideology for the Future of Progressive ActivismReviewsThis illuminating and meticulous study explores a crucial political dynamic of recent decades. Progressives rallied to regain lost ground to the onslaught of neoliberalism, while accepting neoliberalism's spurious disparagement of the power of ideology. Employing a rich range of sources, the author produces a timely riposte to those who doubt the centrality of ideology to political activism and to popular, grassroots movements.--Michael Freeden, Emeritus Professor of Politics, University of Oxford This book is important and admirably incisive. Rafal Soborski makes a compelling case for his claim that progressive, anti-neoliberal social movements have impaired their own effectiveness by neglecting to underpin their action with positive ideological development. Although his aim is primarily diagnostic, the author offers valuable pointers to the potential construction of an inspiring, pluralistic ideological framework for the future.--Christopher Flood, Emeritus Professor of Politics, University of Surrey This book is important and admirably incisive.
