Review: Print on demand rubbish - Great book, 5 stars for the actual book, it's thought provoking and essential. However, the copy I was sent has numerous printing errors and pages missing, so I think it's just a print on demand scam. Don't waste your money, buy this great book from a real bookshop.
Review: Good Stuff - Finally a history of identity politics, where it came from, its political purpose, and where we went wrong. The text ends with a powerful call to action and thus fulfills Marx's notion of immanent critique--the idea you have to present alternatives in addition to making a critique.
