Ash Sarkar challenges the efficacy of identity politics in her book 'Minority Rule.' She argues that the focus on marginalization and cultural divisions has weakened the potential for working-class solidarity, ultimately hindering movements aimed at addressing economic injustice. Sarkar, known for her strong opinions in media and journalism, suggests that the obsession with concepts like white privilege detracts from uniting diverse groups against concentrated wealth and power, a perspective that's ruffled feathers across the political spectrum.
The challenge lies in how identity politics can create divisions rather than uniting the working class, which is crucial for dismantling power structures.
Sarkar argues that by obsessing over marginalization, we lose sight of the broader struggle for economic justice that can only be addressed through solidarity.
