In the late 1960s identity politics emerged on the political
landscape and challenged prevailing ideas about social justice.
These politics brought forth a new attention to social identity, an
attention that continues to divide people today. While previous
studies have focused on the political movements of this period,
they have neglected the conceptual prehistory of this political
turn. Linda Nicholson's engaging book situates this critical moment
in its historical framework, analyzing the concepts and traditions
of racial and gender identity that can be traced back to late
eighteenth-century Europe and America. She examines how changing
ideas about social identity over the last several centuries both
helped and hindered successive social movements, and explores the
consequences of this historical legacy for the women's and black
movements of the 1960s. This insightful study will be of particular
interest to students and scholars of political history, identity
politics and US history.
