How the Left Can Make Its Way Back | Peter Boghossian & Umut Özkırımlı
In 2018, Turkish-Swedish political scientist and author Umut Özkırımlı became the target of a state-supported cancelation campaign in Turkey and at Lund University in Sweden. He was finally vindicated after five years of harassment. He lost his young son to cancer during that time.
Umut describes himself as a left-wing progressive, a democratic socialist, and a critic of right-wing censorship. But the ordeal he went through gave him a new perspective on left-wing extremism. The result is Umut’s new book, “Cancelled: How the Left Can Make Its Way Back from Woke.” He explores the similarities between right-wing populism and radical identity politics, suggesting a path for the left to return to liberal values.
Umut Özkırımlı is a senior research fellow at Institut Barcelona d'Estudis Internacionals, a professor at Blanquerna, Ramon Llull University, and a senior research associate at Barcelona Centre for International Affairs. He is the author of “Theories of Nationalism,” “Contemporary Debates on Nationalism: A Critical Engagement,” and the editor of “The Making of a Protest Movement in Turkey,” among other books. His articles appear in many publications, including the Guardian, openDemocracy, Times Higher Education, and Huffington Post.
