Timothy Staceys book explores why liberalism fails to engage people and provides a toolkit for campaigners, policymakers, and academics to bridge the gap between liberal aspirations and lived experiences.

Format: Hardback
Length: 206 pages
Publication date: 01 June 2022
Publisher: Bristol University Press


In the aftermath of the rise of populism, Timothy Staceys book offers a critical reflection on the shortcomings of the liberal project, with the ultimate goal of rescuing liberalism. It elucidates how populists have effectively exploited myth, ritual, magic, and tradition to further their agendas, and why opponents must embrace rather than reject these elements. Through the use of examples from liberally oriented activists in Vancouver, the book presents an accessible theorization of these quasi-religious concepts in secular contexts. The ultimate aim is to provide both a novel theoretical understanding of why liberalism fails to resonate with people and a practical toolkit for campaigners, policymakers, and academics seeking to bridge the gap between liberal aspirations and lived experiences. This endeavor aims to promote political engagement and foster unity amidst division.
