Episode 30. 'Fractured,' with Michael Richmond and Alex Charnley

ABC With Danny and Jim

In this episode we are joined by Michael Richmond and Alex Charnley to discuss their new work 'Fractured: Race, Class, Gender and the Hatred of Identity Politics,' published with Pluto Press. You can order the book online here: https://www.plutobooks.com/9780745346588/fractured/

A lively and fun conversation, covering the possibilities of universalist approaches, the value of using 'revolutionary time' as an analytical concept, and the paucity of arguments from both right and left which tell us to ignore the material realities of identity.

You can access the archives of Michael and Alex's previous work for The Occupied Times here: https://theoccupiedtimes.org/ and Base Publication here: http://www.basepublication.org/
