Identity Politics and Democracy with Professor Joshua Mitchell

Nonpartisan Red Pill Men's Group

"Reconciliation with the descendants of American slaves must be at the heart of this nation's political agenda," writes Yoram Hazony of Joshua Mitchell's new book: "American Awakening: Identity Politics and Other Afflictions of Our Time." At the heart of America's affliction is the deep-seated racism and bigotry that is so easily harnessed to divide us. The racial divide is driving the assault on democracy in America.
Joshua Mitchell is a professor of political theory at Georgetown University. He has published five books and numerous articles. His academic research focuses on Western political philosophy and his books are about identity and democracy.
Rich Procida interviewed Professor Mitchell. Procida and Mitchell come from different political perspectives. They will take a hard look at the impact of identity politics on race relations and the assault on democracy. Once a Leftist himself, Professor Mitchell is critical of the hyper-identity politics we see today.
Rich Procida is an attorney, author, and activist who has published one book and numerous articles. He founded the Truth and Democracy Coalition and produces two podcasts: "Democracy Under Fire!" and "Bible Study for Progressives." The Truth and Democracy Coalition works with other organizations to build a pro-democracy movement in America. Part of this project includes reaching out to moderates and addressing controversial issues in a way that brings people together rather than pushing them away.
