Английская Википедия:David Swift (author)
David Swift (born 1987) is an English writer and historian.[1]
Swift studied history at Girton College, University of Cambridge.[2] His work focuses on left-wing activism and on different 'identities', such as class, race and gender.[3] Swift has written for a variety of newspapers and periodicals including the New Statesman,[4] Tribune (magazine),[5] The Times,[6] The Independent[7] and UnHerd.[8]
Swift's first book, a history of the British Left during the First World War, was described by reviewer Prof Peter Stansky as ‘an important contribution to the ever-fascinating subject of the history of the British left [and] the development of the Labour party’.[9]
Swift's second book, A Left for Itself,[10] was the first analysis of 'political hobbyism' in the UK,[11][12] and focused on what he termed 'performative radicalism' in the era of the internet and social media.[13] It was heralded as a definitive analysis of the failure of Jeremy Corbyn's Labour party at the 2019 United Kingdom general election.[14]
In 2022 Swift published his third book, The Identity Myth,[15][16] which interrogated common understandings of different 'identities' such as class, race, gender, and generation.[17] It was a Next Big Idea Club finalist for 2022.[18]
