“This is a fascinating book and the author provides a unique perspective that needs to be heard. The book answers questions that individuals have about the definition and influences of identity politics, and does so in a balanced and unbiased way. It will definitely be an important book for the time we are in!”
Sharon D. Austin, Professor of Political Science, University of Florida“Without a doubt, this book focuses on perhaps the issue of our time, certainly the political issue of our time. And the theory it proposes strikes me as something of vital importance. What I most appreciate about this book is that it opens understanding into what is actually occurring in American politics today, breaking free from older understandings of how politics operate, and what motivations matter. It helps us understand, then, new political coalitions that make no sense in older models of how politics operate.”
Michael Emerson, Harry and Hazel Chavanne Fellow in Religion and Public Policy, Rice University
