Social Postmodernism defends a postmodern perspective anchored in the politics of the new social movements. The volume preserves the focus on the politics of the body, race, gender, and sexuality as elaborated in postmodern approaches. But these essays push postmodern analysis in a particular direction: toward a social postmodernism which integrates the micro-social concerns of the new social movements with an institutional and cultural analysis in the service of a transformative political vision.

The book delves into the racial and gender social movements of the 1960s, exploring their roots in earlier traditions and the cultural and historical contexts that shaped them. It highlights the interconnectedness of these movements, offering insights into their evolution and impact on society. Through a detailed analysis, the author sheds light on the struggles and achievements of activists, emphasizing the significance of their contributions to contemporary social justice efforts.
