In the entire history of the United States of America: We've never
elected a woman as our president. We've only had one president who
is not a white man. With two presidential campaigns under her belt,
Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, MSNBC's political analyst and
SiriusXM Host Zerlina Maxwell gained first-hand knowledge of
everything liberals are doing right--and everything they are doing
wrong to make progress. Barack Obama's eight-year presidency
unearthed what had always been right beneath the surface, a racism
that America has struggled to leave behind. We watched as President
Donald Trump effectively ran a campaign on white identity politics.
He exploited race and class privileges, and successfully tapped
into a white male angst. In an unvarnished, impassioned assessment,
Maxwell's book lays bare, what now, liberals? In the 2020 race,
with the most diverse presidential candidates of our time having
run in the primary elections, THE END OF WHITE POLITICS dismantles
the past and present problems of the Left--challenging the
discriminatory agendas of the "Bernie Bros" and centrist thinkers
like Joe Biden--to address the liberal framework that has
traditionally focused on the white working-class, specifically
male. The biggest issue, Maxwell argues, is that the
"liberal-minded" party still struggles to engage communities of
color, even though the population majority will be non-white by
2045. Historically public policies, even those enlisted by the
Left, have valued certain people's needs over others and there
remains a one-sided representation at the top. But times are
changing. Ultimately, in a page-turning analysis, Maxwell
skillfully examines how progressives can use factors that Trump
exploited during his rise to power in 2016 to heal the liberal
divide. A gradual transition of power over to those marginalized
groups who haven't traditionally had one has created a shift and a
growing demand for equity across all areas of American life, which
is the central tension in American politics in the Trump era.
Instead of turning away from identity politics, progressives can
lean into it to unite in a common vision, and make progressive
politics into a winning movement. Everyone post-the 2016
presidential election has shared their "analysis" of what went
wrong and what went right for liberals. Everyone is wrong but the
answers are staring us right in the face.
