Today we are launching on our website a whole new special issue on Identity Politics which will appear in print later this year in volume 26:2 of the journal. Big thanks to HM editors Ashok Kumar and Dalia Gebrial, and guest editors Adam Elliott-Cooper and Shruti Iyer for their very hard work putting this issue together. Thanks also to all the contributors and peer-reviewers. Special thanks to artist Natalia Podpora for her illustrations.
From the editors’ introduction:
The papers within the special issue respond to ongoing debates around what has been termed ‘identity politics’. It aims to intervene in what are make-or-break questions for the Left today. Specifically, to provoke further interrogative but comradely conversation that works towards breaking-down the wedge between vulgar economism and vulgar culturalism.
