Politics of Identity

<p>In <strong><em>The Politics of Identity</em></strong> Stanley Aronowitz offers provocative analysis of the complex interactions of class politics and culture. Beginning with the premise that culture is constitutive of class identities he demonstrates that while feminist analyses of both racial and gay movements have discussed these components of culture class contributions to cultural identity have yet to be fully examined. In these essays he uses class as a category for cultural analysis ranging over issues of ethnicity race and gender portrayals of class and culture in the media as well as a range of other issues related to postmodernism.</p>
