But rather than appealing to the narrow particularism of identity politics, the authors argue for a negative universality rooted in social antagonism (i.e., shared experiences of exploitation and marginalization). This conception of shared struggle avoids the trap of a neocolonial universalism, while foregrounding the politics of the systematically dispossessed and excluded. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book examines what a universal politics might look like in the context of key current global sites of struggle, including climate change, workers' struggles, the Palestinian question, the refugee crisis, Black Lives Matter, #MeToo, Political Islam, the Bolivian state under Morales, the European Union, and COVID-19. It also discusses the main political ingredients, gaps, and limitations of a universal politics.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46236807921905,"sku":"9780197607619","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9780197607619_p0.jpg?v=1765294245","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780197607619","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
