Joining me this week to continue our "Anti-Essentialism Series, Summer 2017" is Walter Benn Michaels. We talk about the transformation of race science to cultural essentialism, and why we love diversity and hate inequality. Walter is a distinguished literary and social critic, and one of the leading theorists of anti-essentialism, so you won't want to miss this interview. Walter's most relevant book, The Trouble with Diversity, can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/Trouble-Diversity-Learned-Identity-Inequality/dp/0805083316 ****This is the free version of this week's interview.
