'When it comes to the intensifying national debates around identity politics, tribalism and social solidarity, Rakib Ehsan's is a compelling voice. Unafraid to ruffle the feathers of self-declared liberals and progressives, he speaks and writes with fluency, passion and - most crucially - a searing honesty. This book deserves the widest attention' - Paul Embery, author of Despised: Why the Modern Left Loathes the Working Class

'Beyond Grievance is a heartfelt and packed-with-stats plea to the Left to abandon victimhood indulgence and instead celebrate the varied and extraordinary triumphs of different ethnic minority groups and individuals. A wake-up call for all of us' - Katharine Birbalsingh, headteacher of the Michaela School

'Faith, family and flag are hugely important to many Black and Asian Britons. Rakib Ehsan's insightful book busts the many myths that the liberal left likes to tell about Britain's diversity and shows that there is strength in the traditional values of our ethnic minority communities' - Lord Maurice Glasman, author of Blue Labour

'Rakib Ehsan is one of the most uninhibited and effective young voices speaking up for the socially conservative left. The fact that he does so as a proud ethnic-minority Briton finding common cause with the country's left-behind, post-industrial communities make him a challenging figure for both main political parties. On ground prepared by Blue Labour and Red Toryism, Ehsan could be helping to forge an important new coalition. This book is its manifesto' - David Goodhart, author of The Road to Somewhere

'For too long, ethnic-minority Britons have been stereotyped as a poor, downtrodden and marginalised singular group. Rakib Ehsan's refreshing and much-needed book challenges this lazy narrative, instead shedding light on the patriotic, optimistic and hard-working ethos that runs through so many ethnic minority communities' - Inaya Folarin Iman, founder of the Equiano Project
