Identity Politics
The concept of "identity politics" was first introduced in academic circles in the 1970s, but it has only reached mainstream political discourse in recent decades. Identity politics refers to a person's political identity being based on a particular aspect of their personality, such as their race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, religion, or socioeconomic class. While identity politics has played an important role in social movements such as the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, the women's rights movement of the 1960s and 1970s, and LGBTQ+ rights movements, some raise concerns that identity politics also causes greater political polarization by emphasizing the differences between groups of people. This volume looks at the role identity politics plays in today's political landscape and past political movements, considering its political and social benefits and challenges.

Systemic Oppression
The term "systemic oppression" refers to the intentional mistreatment or disadvantaging of a group of people based on some aspect of their identity. This can be based on a number of different characteristics--including gender, sexuality, disability, religion, and nationality--but in recent discourse the focus has largely been on the oppression of people of color, especially Black Americans. These systems of oppression take place at the personal, societal, and institutional level, and they lead to people in underserved groups having fewer opportunities and facing more obstacles in their day-to-day lives, from struggling to find adequate housing, education, and employment, to having unequal access to adequate food and health care. The viewpoints in this title examine the forms systemic oppression takes, who is responsible for this oppression, the extent to which it continues to be an issue in contemporary America, and potential solutions for bringing an end to it.
The Politics of Gender and Sexuality
Over the past century, great advancements have been made in securing the fundamental rights of women, gender-diverse people, and LGBTQ+ people. Laws have been passed to protect the civil rights of all people regardless of gender and sexuality and protect against discrimination in housing, the workplace, and federally funded programs like health care and education. However, despite these strides there are still numerous gender and sexuality-related political issues being hotly debated today. The Supreme Court's 2022 decision to overthrow Roe v. Wade, which protected a woman's right to have an abortion, has brought debates about reproductive rights into the spotlight. Meanwhile, attempts to ban books and other media featuring LGBTQ+ content and to prevent transgender athletes from participating in sports have also caused gender and sexuality to be major points of interest in today's political climate. These issues and more are explored in this timely volume.
Migration
Migration has made global citizenship even more important. As people move to other parts of the world for a variety of reasons--to find work, to escape war or famine, to practice their religion or express their identity in peace--we have become more connected than ever as a global community. Readers discover this as they learn about human migration in the past and present, including the challenges faced by today's immigrants, asylum-seekers, and refugees. Important facts are paired with achievable suggestions for actions readers can take to become more involved with this issue on a local and global scale.
