Beyond Identity Politics: Emerging Social Justice Movements in Communities of Color

Beyond Identity Politics provides a long-awaited roadmap to the grassroots social justice movements of the 90s and beyond. This anthology of new and previously published essays describes how organizers are building sophisticated, successful multiracial political organizations in low-income communities and communities of color. With their vitality, complexity, and fluidity, these new political formations are, in fact, transcending the politics of identity and redefining the very meaning of the phrase "community organizing".
