So, we can disentangle Marx from the gulag and Nietzsche from the final solution, but we can’t separate ‘identity politics’ from a tendency to reify identity categories?
And therein lies the rub with what’s Left in the academy. A willed failure of the imagination when it comes to Black feminist theorizing. I want to throw my shoe at everyone who dismisses ‘identity politics’ (without defining it, much less understanding it), but I don’t have enough shoes.
A. MEN.
I concur.
