Looking primarily at two essays in Adolph Reed Jr.’s Class Notes–“Token Equality” and “Posing as Politics”–write a MLA-formatted essay that explores what Adolph Reed argues politics should concern itself with. Key to answering this question is understanding Reed’s conception of the effective realm(s) in which to contest politics and effective ways to contest them.

On pg. 168 of the book (in “Posing as Politics”) Reed writes, “This dismissal of state-centered politics is a signal weakness of the left.” What does Reed mean by this? In what ways does the critique he puts forward in this essay grapple with the notion of what is and is not effective politics? In what ways does he deconstruct faulty and ineffective modes of doing politics?
