Description
The Plot to Change America exposes the myths that help identity politics perpetuate itself. This book reveals what really has happened, explains why it is urgent to change course, and offers a strategy to do so.
Though we should not fool ourselves into thinking it will be easy to eliminate identity politics, we should not overthink it, either. Identity politics relies on the creation of groups, and then on giving people incentives to adhere to them. If we eliminate group-making and the enticements, we can get rid of identity politics.
The first myth that this book exposes is that identity politics is a grassroots movement. From the beginning, it has been, and continues to be, an elite project. For too long, we have lived with the fairytale that America has organically grown into a nation gripped by victimhood and identitarian division; that it is all the result of legitimate demands by minorities for recognition or restitutions for past wrongs.
The second myth is that identity politics is a response to the demographic change this country has undergone since immigration laws were radically changed in 1965. Another myth we are told is that to fight these changes is as depraved as it is futile, since by 2040, America will be a minority-majority country anyway. This book helps explain that none of these things are true.

The Plot to Change America by Mike Gonzalez is highly regarded for its critical analysis of identity politics. It argues that identity politics was intentionally developed to segment citizens into groups for political manipulation and has been eroding the nation's unity. The book traces the historical infiltration of identity politics into various American institutions and suggests ways to counter its divisive effects. Reviewers praise its urgency, relevance, and persuasive argumentation against identity politics, strongly recommending it for its insightful critique and comprehensive research.
