What is Indefensible : Democracy, Counter-Revolution, and the Rhetoric of Anti-Imperialism about?
"Too many so-called leftists support regimes that oppose freedom of expression and association; that imprison, torture and kill dissidents; that obstruct free elections; and that promote inequality, sexism, racism, nationalism and religious bigotry. These "leftists" do so in the name of "progress." In her timely and very important book Rohini Hensman eloquently unmasks such "pseudo-anti-imperialists" who believe that the enemies of the West are always our friends and therefore deserve our solidarity. Against such anti-democratic attitudes she argues powerfully for a principled and enduring struggle against any form of authoritarianism and inequality in civil society, whether West, East, North or South. I hope that her work will be widely read and discussed." --Marcel van der Linden, International Institute of Social History, Amsterdam
