Join us for a discussion of Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò’s acclaimed examination of the way the concept of identify politics “can be stripped of its political substance and liberatory potential by becoming the victim of elite capture—deployed by political, social, and economic elites in the service of their own interests. Through a substantive engagement with the global Black radical tradition and a critical understanding of racial capitalism, Táíwò identifies the process by which a radical concept can be stripped of its political substance and liberatory potential by becoming the victim of elite capture—deployed by political, social, and economic elites in the service of their own interests.” (https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1867-elite-capture)
