The finest study of Corbyn yet written

Stephen Bush, New Statesman

It is a point of contention whether the politics represented by Jeremy Corbyn offers a pathway out of the crisis or we are instead witnessing the last hurrah of Britain's harried and diminished workers' movement. That is one of the questions Richard Seymour tries to answer in his excellent new book…Seymour's analysis remains indispensable

Alex Doherty, New Statesman

A brilliant and incisive analysis by a long-term watcher of the party.

Asa Winstanley, Middle East Monitor

The best, and the definitive, account of what Corbyn's victory the first time round meant. One year on the essential summer 2016 read.

Philosophy Football

Corbyn is not about Corbyn in much the same way that Richard Seymour's earlier and much shorter book, The Meaning of David Cameron, wasn't really about its eponymous anti-hero. Rather it is an analysis – and an astute one – of the socio-political conditions which have given rise to Corbynism, its future prospects and the substantial obstacles it will inevitably face.

Tom Mills, Ceasefire

A must-read for militants inside and outside the Labour Party.
