<p>Nikhil Pal Singh on the unfortunate obsession shared by certain pundits, journalists and social scientists: definitively proving that Trump won because of racism, and racism alone.

And what does "matter more" even mean? Plus, a Dan Denvir monologue on the identity politics debate.</p><p>Thanks to Verso Books.
