Arts of the Political: New Openings for the Left

The book examines the challenges faced by the Left in achieving a fairer society amidst global recession. Authors Ash Amin and Nigel Thrift advocate for expanding the definition of politics to better address injustice and inequality. They propose three key political arts—boosting invention, leveraging organization, and mobilizing affect—as essential for revitalizing Left movements. Rather than offering a definitive blueprint, the authors focus on enhancing political practices to increase effectiveness and responsiveness in contemporary political landscapes.
