520 "When accused of racism, why do people so often reference
their non-white friends? Why do large companies
prominently display photos of women and non-white people
on their websites? Why do straight white male politicians
go out of their way to draw attention to their diverse
supporters? This book to examines how 'identity
capitalists,' or members of powerful in-groups or
institutions, derive social and economic value from out-
group or minority identities. Nancy Leong argues that
members of ingroups (a category that varies depending on
the situation, but who are most often white, male,
straight, wealthy, or all of the above) are often
'identity capitalists.' They derive social and economic
value from the identities of outgroup members such as non-
white people, women, LGBTQ people, and the poor. This book
develops a framework for understanding identity capitalism
and demonstrates that the process of deriving value from
identity is common and pervasive, with roots in the
American social and legal preoccupation with diversity.
Drawing examples from pop culture, politics, and the law,
Leong shows how identity capitalism occurs nearly
everywhere, from schools to workplaces to entertainment.
Identity capitalism often creates a dilemma for members of
outgroups: do they reluctantly tolerate the way the
ingroup is using their identity, or do they protest the
use of their identity and risk negative repercussions from
the ingroup? Leong argues that identity capitalism is
overall a negative phenomenon that leads to cynicism about
identity and exploitation of identity outgroups. She also
considers how identity capitalism intersects with the
legal system, offering examples from antidiscrimination
law and beyond. The book concludes by considering both the
promise and limitations of legal reform for mitigating the
harms of identity capitalism, and encourages people to
turn the lens of identity capitalism on their own lives"--
