Elite Capture. How the Powerful Took Over Identity Politics (And Everything Else)
Book Presentation with Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò
“Identity politics” is everywhere, polarizing discourse from the campaign trail to the classroom and amplifying antagonisms in the media, both online and off. But the compulsively referenced phrase bears little resemblance to the concept as first introduced by the radical Black feminist Combahee River Collective. While the Collective articulated a political viewpoint grounded in their own position as Black lesbians with the explicit aim of building solidarity across lines of difference, identity politics is now frequently weaponized as a means of closing ranks around ever-narrower conceptions of group interests.

SPEAKER
Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò, Georgetown University
