A FINANCIAL TIMES, THE CRITIC AND THE SPECTATOR BOOK OF THE YEAR

by bestselling author David Goodhart is out now in paperback.

Family life has changed dramatically over the past 60 years.

Greater choice and autonomy, especially for women, and a more equal domestic sphere have brought great gains for human freedom. However, argues David Goodhart, there have been losses and unintended consequences too – in family instability, children’s declining mental health, and the ever-rising demands on the welfare state and social care system. Sharply falling birthrates also present major challenges.

For many people, especially in the bottom half of the income spectrum, the costs are now too high.  argues that we need a new policy settlement that supports gender equality while also recognising the importance of stable families and community life, and that sees having children as a public as well as private good.

 argues that science and scholarship are under threat throughout western institutions with disastrous consequences for knowledge and progress. The policing of language, assaults on merit-based hiring and the dominance of ideological mantras across science and medicine should concern us all.  

As contributions from a group of prominent scholars ranging across many different disciplines and political leanings detail, the very future of free inquiry and scientific progress is at risk. Many who have spoken up against this threat have lost their positions, and a climate of fear has arisen that strikes at the heart of modern education and research. Banding together to finally speak out, this brave and unprecedented group of scholars issues a clarion call for change.

Ludovic-Mohamed Zahed is an imam and Koranic scholar. He is also gay.

In this memoir, he explains the journey he has taken to be both the founder of a mosque in Paris and to be openly gay, after a troubled childhood in Algeria in poverty and living with an aggressive and often violent father. Having found it impossible in that society to be both religious and true to himself, and being abandoned by a fellow school pupil with whom he was in love, he lost his faith.

Trained as an imam, though, he became an accomplished Koranic scholar. He concluded that there was nothing in the Koran that condemned same-sex attraction or committed same-sex relationships. Finally, during a pilgrimage to Mecca, he understood that he could be fully himself and practise his religion with sincerity and commitment.

tackles these subjects with originality and is a book of real bravery, that shows how it is possible to reconcile homosexuality and religion.

Available now from all good bookstores and online.
