Edited by Leo Panitch and Colin Leys
Why do racial, religious, ethnic and national identities have such purchase on the lives of so many people, and why are they still at the center of so many major conflicts at the beginning of the twenty-first century? What form is racism taking amidst the inequalities, refugees and mass migrations of today’s global capitalism? How does the American state—as both the manager of the world capitalist order and as the embodiment of an all-too-often chauvinist national identity—fit into the picture of ‘Fighting Identities’?
I know the Register very well and have found it extremely stimulating, often invaluable.
—Noam Chomsky
The Socialist Register has been the intellectual lodestar for the international left since 1965.
—Mike Davis
