Book Synopsis



Un ensayo clave del filósofo Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò para comprender cómo las élites se han apropiado de las políticas de identidad y sus usos.

¿Cómo podemos entender la política de la identidad? ¿Nos encontramos ante una versión inofensiva de la política de izquierdas? ¿O tal vez se trata de algo más inquietante y el término se ha convertido en una herramienta de la burguesía para mantener su dominio de clase? ¿Es la política de la identidad, encarnada en la teoría crítica de la raza, una ideología peligrosa, una amenaza para el orden establecido que los poderes fácticos intentan erradicar?

A partir de ejemplos de pensadores y activistas comprometidos con la tradición radical negra global--E. Franklin Frazier, Carter G. Woodson, Lilica Boa, Paulo Freire y Andaiye--y desde una comprensión crítica del capitalismo racial, el filósofo Olúfẹḿi O. Táíwò analiza el proceso en que las élites saquean el potencial político y emancipatorio de las políticas de la identidad y lo manipulan para controlar aspectos fundamentales de nuestro sistema social.

Pero si las élites se han apoderado de todo, ¿qué queda? ¿Cómo podemos ganar en un mundo tan viciado y empeñado? Táíwò es categórico: no basta denunciar. Con una pluma punzante y determinada, el autor propone como alternativa una política constructiva de solidaridad radical y reivindica la posibilidad de organización para desarticular el sistema perpetuado por los poderosos.



Review Quotes




"Olúfémi Táíwò is a thinker on fire. He not only calls out empire for shrouding its bloodied hands in the cloth of magical thinking but calls on all of us to do the same. Elite capture, after all, is about turning oppression and its cure into a (neo)liberal commodity exchange where identities become capitalism's latest currency rather than the grounds for revolutionary transformation. The lesson is clear: only when we think for ourselves and act with each other, together in deep, dynamic, and difficult solidarity, can we begin to remake the world."
--Robin D. G. Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination

"Among the churn of books on 'wokeness' and 'political correctness, ' philosopher Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò's Elite Capture clearly stands out. With calm, clarity, erudition, and authority, Táíwò walks the reader through the morass, deftly explicating the distinction between substantive and worthy critique and weaponized backlash. Understanding the culture wars is essential to US politics right now, and no one has done it better than Táíwò in this book."
--Jason Stanley, author of How Fascism Works

"With global breath, clarity and precision, Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò dissects the causes and consequences of elite capture and charts an alternative constructive politics for our time. The result is an erudite yet accessible book that draws widely on the rich traditions of black and anticolonial political thought."
--Adom Getachew, author of Worldmaking after Empire: The Rise and Fall of Self-Determination
