Mueller","doi":"10.1177/08969205231171321","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/08969205231171321","url":null,"abstract":"One cannot wade through an academic journal in the social sciences or humanities, read an Op-Ed essay, or listen to a political podcast without coming across a discussion on the relationship of identity and politics. Whether it is a discussion on the concept and merits of ‘identity politics’, the relationship between particular experiences and universalist aspirations for emancipation, or paths toward reform or revolution, these issues elicit strong responses. Two recent books broach these topics in a clarifying manner and deserve to be compared, contrasted, and analyzed. These books are Alain Badiou’s (2022a) A New Dawn for Politics and Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò’s (2022a) Elite Capture: How The Powerful Took Over Identity Politics (And Everything Else). Thinking through the key themes in these works can help academics and activists alike elaborate a systematic vision and idea on how identity relates to radical, anti-systemic politics. To begin, this essay focuses on the politics of identity. I explore the intellectual traditions from which Táíwò gathers his critique and defense of particular politics of identity. I then juxtapose Táíwò’s thoughts on identity to Badiou’s position, highlighting their tensions and possible compatibly. Next, I clarify both Táíwò and Badiou’s attempts to identify and define an act of authentic, radical politics. It attempts to discern how both scholars conceptualize a form of emancipatory, anti-systemic politics that are capable of allowing one’s identity to be a part of the struggle for equality, rather than discarded as a reactionary husk. Finally, I show how both scholars’ ideas speak to other domains of critical scholarship and our current moment of political uprising and upheaval.","PeriodicalId":47686,"journal":{"name":"Critical Sociology","volume":"34 1","pages":"1065 - 1071"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89453755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The political and cultural subordination of non-Mandarin Han groups, however, has drawn little attention. We argue that critical Han studies, by posing a challenge to the state ideology of Han ethnic unitarism, provides a theoretical arsenal capable of broadening the application of the internal colonialism framework to the study of non-Mandarin Han groups and regions in China. To provide empirical support for our argument, we examine ethno-geographic representation among Chinese political elites. We find an internal heterogeneity and ethnic hierarchy between different Han groups who have integrated into the political ruling class of China, which is dominated by the Mandarins, to various extents: the Wu people of Shanghai and Zhejiang represent the top layer of the hierarchy; the Xiang of Hunan, the Hokkien of Fujian, and the Gan of Jiangxi constitute the intermediate layer; and the Cantonese and the Teochew of Guangdong belong to the bottom layer. These findings provide the basis for our discussion of internal colonization in China with a specific focus on Guangdong and Hong Kong.","PeriodicalId":47686,"journal":{"name":"Critical Sociology","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83294756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The emphasis of this latest book by him is that democracy depends not only on maintaining liberty and equality but also on dealing with uncertainty. His previous book was What Is Populism? (2016) where he does not really emphasize, though he seems to recognize, that populism can be the expression of rational grievances of an aroused population, reacting against the rise of elites increasingly unaccountable in practice if not necessarily in theory. Peter Mair (2013), the late great Irish political scientist in Ruling the Void: The Hollowing of Western Democracy, became known for his comments on this very subject, of politicians who think more like civil servants concerned with keeping their jobs long enough to retire with nice pensions than in being leaders of social movements. Müller emphasizes more the unreasonableness of populist movements, their tendency to think of themselves as ‘the real people’, and therefore their tendency to scapegoat those they consider to be social outsiders, particularly immigrants and ethnic minorities, and therefore their tendency to ignore other sources of social problems requiring other solutions. As for such solutions, keeping out or even expelling these ‘outsiders’ is according to many economists a short-sighted solution to short-term economic problems that can be dealt with by economic growth, perhaps by using these same immigrants as cheap labor or by exporting certain","PeriodicalId":47686,"journal":{"name":"Critical Sociology","volume":"64 1","pages":"885 - 892"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79572501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
