Praise for Sway: Agarwal's diagnosis of the political harms of bias is passionate and urgent * * Guardian, Book of the Week * * An important look at one of the issues facing Western society today. This book exposes the insidiousness of unconscious bias and offers us a way to change the way we think that is practical, useful, readable and essential for the times we are living in. You need to read this book and think about the way you live and how you view others -- NIKESH SHUKLA An exhaustive, brilliantly researched survey of bias and how it seeps so easily into our everyday thoughts and actions, from gender essentialism to casual racism. Calmly and without polemic, Agarwal explains why we all need to work harder to avoid lazy prejudice and simplistic narratives if we are to build a fairer society. An eye-opening book that I hope will be widely read -- ANGELA SAINI Indispensable . . . A book that is challenging, fascinating and useful, and if we take notice, a book that could make us better people -- ROBIN INCE
