Abstract

The current work analyses Armadilhas da Identidade, a book from Asad Haider, highlighting its main concerns about race, class and identitarianism. Asad's writing is grounded in his own experience as a son paquistanese immigrants. For Haider, who discusses the theme from a Marxist perspective, the interference of neoliberalism in racial debates differentiates what is known as “identitarianism” and as “identity policies”. This review seeks to set paths between the US and Brazilian contexts, based on the work of intellectuals who are qualified to discuss race and class in Latin America.
