How we identify – from race to ethnicity to gender to nationality – informs how we behave and how people behave toward us. University of Manchester sociology professor Gary Younge joins host Krys Boyd to talk about how societies operate based on assumptions and privileges granted to people based on their identities. His book, newly out in paperback, is “Who Are We?: How Identity Politics Took Over the World.”
