Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The rise of identity politics in the past decade has been impossible to miss. Issues such as race, sexuality and gender identity have enveloped the left in the UK and the USA. Politicians, big business and celebrities have all got behind these causes. While this might appear progressive, there are many negative consequences of identity politics. Perfect for the general reader, as well as those who wish to study this topic in-depth, this book offers an analysis of the impact of identity politics from a socialist perspective. It will examine how identity politics has damaged the left by analysing examples of identity politics in action from both sides of the Atlantic. And it tells us why it's time for the left to return to its class-based roots.
