Description
Analysis from a socialist perspective offers a fresh look at the impact of identity politics on the left.
The rise of identity politics over the past decade has been a dominant force in UK and US politics, with issues like race, sexuality, and gender identity driving progressive causes. However, this shift has also had negative consequences, which Katie Roche examines in her book.
Roche argues that it's time for the left to return to its class-based roots, and she does so by analysing examples of identity politics from both sides of the Atlantic.
