After Blair
After Identity
Jonathan Rutherford

'There has been thus far no better inventory made of the human consequences of individualisation, and the price which individuals are required to pay for their freedom of self-assertion in a world vacated by the past and denying hospitality to the future.' Zygmunt Bauman Read Introduction

Edited by Gerry Hassan

After Blair asks whether progressives still have a story that can sustain their faith in the future.
