(clearing out old posts, this one is from three years ago ...)
I'm enjoying Wesley Yang's Substack these days -- it's well-written, comprehensive, and inspiring.
How did this come about? How did he decide to start doing this?
Yang published his first book, The Souls of Yellow Folk, in 2018. A collection of his previously published essays, the book was selected as a notable book of the year by The New York Times Book Review and The Washington Post, and one of the best books of the year by The Spectator and Publishers Weekly.
Yang coined the term "successor ideology" in 2019 to describe an emerging ideology among left-wing movements in the United States centered around identity politics.
Yang opposes this ideology and believes it may replace traditional liberal values.
