The Trouble with Diversity by Walter Benn Michaels Summary
Overview of The Trouble with Diversity
Michaels challenges our love affair with diversity politics, arguing it distracts from widening economic inequality. Since 2006, this provocative critique has sparked fierce academic debates - what if our focus on identity is actually preserving the wealth gap we're trying to fix?

The Diversity Distraction: How Cultural Celebration Masks Economic Reality
In America, we've become remarkably skilled at celebrating our differences while ignoring our deepening economic divide. As the wealth gap reaches historic proportions, our national conversation remains fixated on cultural identity rather than financial inequality. Why do we enthusiastically embrace diversity initiatives while economic disparities grow unchecked? This paradox sits at the heart of "The Trouble with Diversity" - a provocative examination of how our focus on cultural differences serves as a convenient distraction from addressing the widening gulf between rich and poor. When F. Scott Fitzgerald remarked that "the rich are different," Hemingway famously replied: "Yes, they have more money." This exchange perfectly captures our society's fundamental tension. Are social differences about what people have (wealth) or what they are (identity)? Our persistent choice to focus on the latter while ignoring the former reveals something profound about American values - we'd rather celebrate cultural diversity than confront economic disparity.
