Beyond these racial flashpoints, the increasingly polarized nature of US politics has reignited debates around the meaning of identity, citizenship, and acceptance in America today. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this pioneering book, Khalilah L. Brown-Dean moves beyond the headlines to examine how contemporary controversies emanate from longstanding struggles over power, access, and belonging. Using intersectionality as an organizing framework, she draws on current tensions such as voter suppression, the Me Too movement, the Standing Rock protests, marriage equality, military service, the rise of the Religious Right, protests by professional athletes, and battles over immigration to show how conflicts over group identity are an inescapable feature of American political development. Brown-Dean explores issues of citizenship, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity, and religion to argue that democracy in the United States is built upon the battle of ideas related to how we see ourselves, how we see others, and the mechanisms available to reinforce those distinctions.  \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eIdentity Politics in the United States\u003c\/i\u003e will be an essential resource for students and engaged citizens who want to understand the link between historical context, contemporary political challenges, and paths to move toward a stronger democracy.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of Tables, Figures and Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1:      The Personal is Political                        \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2:      Identity Politics and the Boundaries of\u003cbr\u003e                                     Belonging    \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3:      The Substance of U.S. Citizenship                     \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4:      Racial Identity, Citizenship, and Voting              \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5:      Ethnic Identity: Demography and\u003cbr\u003e                                     Destiny      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6:      Gender, Sexual Identity, and the\u003cbr\u003e                                     Challenge of Inclusion  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 7:      Religious Identity and Political Presence                    \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 8:      Identity and Political Movements\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 9:      The Inescapability of Identity Politics               \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Glossary                                   \u003cbr\u003e Works Cited                                     \u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Politics \u0026amp; government [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Politics \u0026amp; government\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Politics%20\u0026amp;%20government%20%5BJP%5D%22\"\u003eJP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407324508440,"sku":"9780745654119","price":53.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745654119.jpg?v=1784161858","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/identity-politics-in-the-united-states-hardback-9780745654119","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
