Short but passionate overview of the dangers of identity politics and how they have become co-opted by the elite (and in doing so defining that the elite can be anyone of any background, so long as they are the one in the room with the most power). 

I loved that Táíwò takes the stance that, instead of changing the way conversations are had, we need to change the conversation entirely. I appreciated that he used real-world examples from around the globe to support his point, but I think at times his use of metaphors didn't work well for his argument. It turned some of his ideas a bit abstract and amorphous and at times a bit hard to follow. 

This is more of an idea/philosophical musing than an actual in-depth overview of identity politics and how to combat liberalism. Which is fine, but readers might want to know before picking it up. Either way, it gives a great starting point to understanding how identity politics have evolved and overstayed their welcome. It's a conversation that you can take with you into all activist spaces, specifically in combatting liberal feminism and liberal anti-racism, to name a couple.

Seems apt in the discourse of this current election cycle and can help leftists further their understanding of our current political climate.
