Identity politics commodify resistance (turning “intersectionality” into a marketing strategy while prisons and borders remain intact).
Seats at tables are irrelevant.

Identity politics individualize struggle (unaffluent Black women clean the office of a Black woman billionaire in response to the same exploitation) and ignores material conditions (police won’t stop brutalizing you because you wave a Pride flag).

What Identity Politics Gets Wrong
Liberal identity politics reduces oppression to a game of visibility and inclusion: “More Black CEOs! More queer Senators!” But being visible and included in a violent practice isn’t liberation.

Receiving the advance copies of my book was much more exciting than I could have imagined! Grateful that it will soon be available to others navigating this challenging time in #highered.

Latin American liberation praxis as enacted by the Comunidades Eclesiales de Base in El Salvador offers a methodology to read reality and act from a place of freedom for personal and collective liberation. This model gives me hope!
