Left in Dark Times: A Stand Against the New Barbarism

Left in Dark Times: A Stand Against the New Barbarism
- Used Book in Good Condition
In this unprecedented critique, Bernard-Henri LÃ©vy revisits his political roots, scrutinizes the totalitarianisms of the past as well as those on the horizon, and argues powerfully for a new political and moral vision for our times. Are human rights Western or universal? Does anti-Semitism have a future, and, if so, what will it look like? And how is it that progressives themselvesâ€“those who in the past defended individual rights and fought fascismâ€“have now become the breeding ground for new kinds of dangerous attitudes: an unthinking loathing of Israel; an obsessive anti-Americanism; an idea of â€œtoleranceâ€ that, in its justification of Islamic fanaticism, for example, could become the â€œcemetery of democraciesâ€; and an indifference, masked by relativism, to the greatest human tragedies facing the world today?

At a time of ideological and political transition in America, Left in Dark Times articulates the threats we all faceâ€“in many cases without our even being aware of itâ€“and offers a powerful new vision for progressives everywhere.
