Description
Identity Politics: Where Did It All Go Wrong? David Pilgrim explores identity politics as a complex and multifaceted phenomenon. While acknowledging its potential benefits in shedding light on neglected topics, he also highlights the limitations of this approach. Identity politics can sometimes lead to absolutism and premature certainties, neglecting the nuance and complexity of human experience. Pilgrim argues that strong social constructivist arguments within social science about gender, sexualities, and moral panics are often inadequate responses to the world's complexity. This accessible book offers a realist perspective on these issues, making it a valuable read for those interested in contemporary policy formation or reform. Suitable for students and professionals in fields such as sociology, politics, social policy, philosophy, mental health, and public health, this book provides a thought-provoking analysis of identity politics.
