Identity politics has been a smear for decades. The right use it to
lament the loss of free speech, while many on the left bemoan it as
the end of class politics. It has been used to dismiss movements
such as Black Lives Matter and brought seemingly progressive people
into the path of fascism. It has emboldened the march of the
transphobes. In Fractured, the authors move away from the
ahistorical temper of the identity politics debate. Instead of
crudely categorising race, gender and sexuality as fixed and
immutable identities, or forcing them under the banner of
'diversity', they argue that these categories are inseparable from
the history of class struggle under British and US capitalism.
Through an appraisal of pivotal historical moments in Britain and
the US, including Black feminist and anticolonial traditions on
both sides of the Atlantic, the authors question the assumptions of
the culture war, offering a refreshing and reasoned way to
understand how historical class struggles were formed and continue
to determine the possibilities for new forms of solidarity in an
increasingly dangerous world.
