Description
Olúfẹmi O. Táíwò examines the evolution of identity politics, tracing its origins in the radical Black feminist Combahee River Collective to its current state of being co-opted by powerful elites. Through a critical analysis of racial capitalism and the global Black radical tradition, Táíwò reveals how a radical concept can lose its political substance and liberatory potential. This nuanced exploration offers a constructive alternative to elitist identity politics, advocating for a politics of radical solidarity in the pursuit of a better world.
