| Summary |
There are 84 million members of the Millennial Generation and scholars agree that they are far more engaged politically and have far more progressive views on race, class, gender and sexual orientation issues than Generation X or Baby Boomers. While they demonstrate increasing political engagement most Millennials also express dissatisfaction with the way politics is conducted. The 2008 presidential election was no exception, highlighting the complicated politics of gender, race, class and sexual orientation politics. These young Americans are clearly ready for a new kind of politics, but what can they use as a bridge to get away from the politics of fear, disgust, and negativity that they dislike so much? Written in plain language for an educated trade audience, this book takes the political theory of intersectionality - the most cutting-edge approach to the politics of gender, race, sexual orientation, and class - and introduces it to the general public for the first time |
