Conventional wisdom believes that solidarity among the working poor
is rare in the United States and identity politics shoulders a
large portion of the blame. The Politics of Identity offers a fresh
take on solidarity building and identity among America's working
poor by placing workers' voices center stage through the use of
fieldwork and in-depth interviews. The book provides the first
empirical assessment of long-standing theoretical debates over the
effect of identity politics for developing additional solidarities
that is politically relevant, theoretically rich, and highly
readable.
