Sommario/riassunto

Offers a radical alternative to feminist identity politics. According to Mann's bold and original analysis, our political agency is prior to our sense of identity today. Micro-Politics provides a framework in which hierarchies of race, sex, class, as well as gender are figured as contested sites of struggle in our everyday lives.
