I am the book review editor for the journal, Socialism and Democracy. We are looking for someone to review the following book
Class Struggle and Identity Politics By Marc James Leger This book provides a socialist critique of identity politics. It treats the recent wave of "woke" culture wars through a radical class analysis and critique of the most popular trends around diversity and inclusion: radical democracy, intersectionality, privilege theory, critical race theory and decoloniality. The book further explains the complexity of today's cultural conflicts by examining how these issues are viewed across the political spectrum, including populist and postmodern perspectives. Exploring historical, cultural, political and economic developments since the postwar era, this follow-up to Identity Trumps Socialism provides the reader with everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask about the campus wars that have gone mainstream.
