Abstract	In seemingly exhaustive arguments about identity as a category of analysis, we have made a critical error-one that Michael Hames-Garc̕a sets out to correct in this revisionary look at the making and meaning of social identities. We have asked how separate identities-of race, class, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality-come to intersect. Instead, Hames-Garc̕a proposes, we should begin by understanding such social identities as mutually constituting one another.
Summary	Grounded in both theoretical and political practices-in the lived realities of people's experience-Identity Complex reinvigorates identity as a key concept and as a tool for the pursuit of social justice. To show that social identities are central to how exploitation works, Hames-Garc̕a draws on a wide range of examples, such as debates about the desirability of sexual minority identities in postcolonial contexts, questions about the reality of race, and the nature of the U.S. prison crisis.
Summary	Unless we understand precisely how identities take shape in relation to each other and within contexts of oppression, he contends, we will never be able to eradicate discrimination and social inequality. By analyzing the social interdependence of identities, Hames-Garc̕a seeks to enable the creation of deep connections of solidarity across differences.
