Description
The New Anti-Liberals is the book we have been waiting for. Canada's most prominent civil libertarian speaks out against those who promote equality at any cost.
The New Anti-Liberals is a coherent but passionate critique of special interests, such as feminists and racial minorities, who undermine liberal values by seeking a special advantage for their group. The book defends classical liberalism against both traditional conservatives and the new equality seekers.
The New Anti-Liberals is the first cry of warning from a progressive fighter for human rights.
About the author

The recipient of four honourary doctorates, the Order of Canada, and a place in the honour roll of the aboriginal Treaty Council #3, he has written three books, the first of which—When Freedoms Collide—was nominated for a Governor General’s award.
Editorial Reviews
"This book is an important rallying call to supporters of the classic values of free speech, procedural fairness, and non-discrimination. It calls upon us to redouble our efforts to combat all attacks on those values, no matter how sympathetic the ideology or goals of the attackers might otherwise be. Indeed, Borovoy makes a persuasive case that it is especially essential to resist assaults on those traditional civil liberties principles when they are made allegedly for the sake of causes that liberals hold dear, such as promoting the human rights of women and racial minorities."— “Nadine Strossen, Professor of Law, New York Law School
