Progressivism seems to have both changed radically, with new understandings of identity and racism, and risen dramatically to positions of power, from corporate HR departments to public school systems to federal agencies, and now challenges hitherto widespread assumptions about the justice of colorblind law and freedom of speech. Is this a new ideology, and if so, what is its structure, and how did it rise so quickly in influence? Author Wesley Yang discusses his analysis of this remarkable inflection point in American politics with SPA professor G. Borden Flanagan.
