Description
A groundbreaking collection of essays that challenges the dominant progressive politics of our time. Adolph Reed, Jr. and Walter Benn Michaels argue that the emphasis on racial disparities distracts from the pervasive influence of class inequality, legitimising economic inequality. This book offers a compelling alternative, rooted in universalism and critiquing the dogma of identity politics. The authors' work spans seven decades, charting the decline of the left and American politics, providing a rich and pressing long view of contemporary politics. For anyone interested in understanding the complex relationships between race and class, this collection is essential reading.
