Far from being a smooth movement forward, progressive social change is like a car crash where cars pile up. The greater the movement forward, the greater the reaction to it. Reform movements - such as anti-racism, feminism, and open immigration - should be understood as frontlash movements creating extraordinary tensions. They challenge not only material interests but ideal ones - the taken-for-granted meanings that have made life worth living for those on the traditional side. Angry backlash movements slam on the brakes. They aim not only to halt forward progress, but to move backward, to how things were in the good old days.
Today we are witnessing a surge of powerful backlash movements in many parts of the world - in the US, in Europe, in India, and elsewhere. Against these onslaughts, the universalizing culture and institutions of democratic civil spheres have so far managed to retain their resilience, but how long can they continue to hold?
