Book Launch: Emily Robinson, (2017) The language of progressive politics in modern Britain.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This book traces the word \u2018progressive\u2019 through modern British history, from the Enlightenment to Brexit. It explores the shifting meanings of this term and the contradictory political projects to which it has been attached. It also places this political language in its cultural context, asking how it relates to ideas about progressive social development, progressive business, and progressive rock music.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n\u2018Progressive\u2019 is often associated with a centre-left political tradition, but this book shows that this was only ever one use of the term \u2013 and one that was heavily contested even from its inception.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nThe power of the term \u2018progressive\u2019 is that it appears to anticipate the future. This can be politically and culturally valuable, but it is also dangerous. The suggestion that there is only one way forward has led to fear and doubt, anger and apathy, even amongst those who would like to consider themselves \u2018progressive people\u2019.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Emily Robinson is Senior Lecturer in Politics at the University of Sussex, UK, Commissioning Editor of\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Renewal<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>, and a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. Her previous work includes\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>History, Heritage and Tradition in Contemporary British Politics: Past Politics and Present Histories<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>(2012).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
