The Shift in Identity Politics

This chapter examines the evolution of identity politics, emphasizing the transition from class-based issues to a focus on race and gender without considering economic factors. It investigates how institutional support in universities has redefined social dominance and created a new form of radicalism rooted in privilege. The discussion also touches on the impact of current events, like the murder of George Floyd, in shaping the discourse around 'wokeness' and racial justice, critiquing the focus on representation over systemic change.
