Read the above article, which outlines the argument of Amy Chua’s latest book.

1 – What is the main argument she makes about Progressive politics and identity politics?

2 – Irrespective of your ethnicity, class, gender, nationality or belief system, what are your thoughts on this piece?

I assign it as I think its the most incisive reading of American (and hence Western) culture wars over the past decade or so. I think she explains the Trump revolution and the turn to the right across the West (and far beyond).
