The Importance of Intersectionality in Woke

The Woke movement expresses traditional left-wing emotions, says Susan Faludi. Those emotions are derailed by a range of theoretical assumptions that undermine them, she says. "Woke demands that nations and peoples face up to their criminal histories," Faludi writes. The idea of intersectionality might have emphasized the ways in which all of us have more than one identity; it has led to focus on those parts of identities that are most marginalized, he adds.
