description: This book is a daring intervention to get us back in the gameand a witty delightfully personal meditation on collective power. Naomi Klein The energy on the left has never been higher. But because there are so many issues to tackle each one more urgent and divisive than the next some say progressives will once again fail to seize the moment and gain real power. But what if were getting the story all wrong? In The Marginalized Majority  Onnesha Roychoudhuri makes the galvanizing case that our plurality of identities is not only our greatest strength but is also at the indisputable core of successful progressive change throughout history. From the civil rights movement to the Womens March mainstream media to Saturday Night Live  Roychoudhuri illuminates how historical narratives are written and by holding the myths about our disenfranchisement up to the light reveals we have far more power than were often led to believe. With both clear-eyed hope and electrifying power she examines our ideas about whats possible and whats necessaryopening up space for action new realities and ultimately survival. Now Roychoudhuri urges us is the time to fight like the majority we already are.
