Episode Synopsis

In this engaging episode, Lubaba and Tuaha dive into the complex world of identity politics. As South Asians, how might our leaders work against our own people? They further explore origins of identity politics in radical Black feminism, originally intended to foster solidarity, and how it has since been weaponized by both right-wing groups and neoliberals for their own agendas. With the current geopolitical climate and the rise of far-right movements—including Trump’s second presidential victory—Lubaba and Tuaha share the dangers of such weaponization.
