The book critiques identity politics, arguing that it is not a leftist initiative but rather a tool that supports neoliberalism, which has led to significant inequality and societal issues like repression and mass incarceration. It contends that identity politics promotes biological essentialism, hindering the development of a moral framework based on universal humanism and a political landscape rooted in solidarity. The author challenges both progressive and conservative views, suggesting a reevaluation of how identity politics shapes contemporary social and political discourse.
