Two recent books exploring the post-crash ‘mass protest decade’

sobering — assessment of the Left’s consistent failures and
potential prospects.

_Stathis Kouvelakis_ / Verso (London)
We need to take a closer look at the driving forces behind the popular
mobilization that shaped the result of July 7, i.e. the unexpected
victory of the New Popular Front (NPF). It may have surprised and
relieved us, but it is by no means a miracle. We could even say that
it comes from a long way back, from the sedimentation left behind by
the social and political battles of recent years.

Behind Narendra Modi’s surprising electoral setback last month lay
years of organizing by movements against his Hindu chauvinist agenda.
One of those movements is working to forge unity between Muslims and
Dalits against Modi’s efforts to divide them.
