    Peter Berkowitz’s Five Books

    Research | Podcasts | by Peter Berkowitz
    Friday, November 15, 2013

    The Plague Of Identity Politics, Part Two

    Research | Articles
    Thursday, November 29, 2018
    I wrote here about an event, hosted jointly by the Heritage Foundation and the Hoover Institution, called: “Identity Politics Is a Threat to Society: Is There Anything We Can Do About It At This Point?” The panel consisted of my friends John Fonte and Peter Berkowitz; my hero Heather Mac Donald; our long-time blog adversary Andrew Sullivan; and Michael Lind, who questioned whether identity politics is a serious new threat.

    The Plague Of Identity Politics

    Research | Articles
    Tuesday, November 27, 2018

    Yesterday, the Heritage Foundation, in conjunction with the Hoover Institution, hosted an event with this blunt title: “Identity Politics Is a Threat to Society: Is There Anything We Can Do About It At This Point?” The panel consisted my friends John Fonte and Peter Berkowitz; my hero Heather Mac Donald; our long-time blog nemesis Andrew Sullivan; and Michael Lind, an original thinker whose book about the Vietnam War was the subject of the first post I ever wrote on Power Line, more than 16 years ago.

    Women And The Workplace-Parenthood Squeeze

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Tuesday, September 29, 2015

    In her new book, “Unfinished Business: Women, Men, Work, Family,” Anne-Marie Slaughter, the president and CEO of the Washington-based think tank New America, argues that while we have made great progress, we must still knock down plenty of “obstacles and barriers to true equality.”

    A Misguided Resolution To The Culture Wars

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Monday, October 19, 2015

    Thirty years after the phrase came into vogue, the culture wars are alive and well—and more heated and complex than ever. A comprehensive peace is not in the cards.

    What Was Wrong With The Old Zionism?

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Wednesday, March 30, 2016

    A new theory of Jewish nationalism promises to be more liberal than the old one. But it profoundly misunderstands Zionism—and liberalism.

    Review: 'After The Fall: Being American In The World We've Made'

    Research | Books | by Peter Berkowitz
    Monday, June 28, 2021

    The acrimony and disorder of contemporary American politics, according to a host of conservative commentators, stem in significant measure from progressive elites' incendiary words and antagonistic conduct.

    Religious Freedom Isn't Baked Into Wedding Cake Ruling

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Wednesday, June 13, 2018

    Last week in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, the Supreme Court threaded the needle. Whether the thread will hold is uncertain. Justice Anthony Kennedy’s narrowly crafted majority opinion protected religious liberty without impairing gay rights.

    Pride, Humility, And America’s Dedication To Human Rights

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Sunday, June 7, 2020

    The callous taking of George Floyd’s life has provoked both peaceful protests and violent rioting in American cities. The turmoil in our streets underscores the essential importance of a criminal justice system rooted in the rule of law and of a free press that reports accurately on the actions of citizens and government officials. The questions roiling the nation about police brutality, civic unrest, and America's commitment to human rights will linger. 

    Reclaiming Common Ground: Racism, Kendi & The Capitol Riot

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Sunday, January 24, 2021

    On Jan. 20, right on schedule and without interruption, Chief Justice John Roberts swore in Joe Biden as the 46th president of the United States. Yet all is not well. That 25,000 National Guard members had been summoned to Washington to stand watch over the city’s streets and provide security for the inauguration testified to the distrust and anger roiling the nation.

    Civics Textbook Wars: Israeli Right Strikes Back

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Monday, June 27, 2016

    A few years ago on a lazy Friday afternoon, my friend Ronit Vardi—a veteran journalist and longtime resident of this frenetic city perched between the Mediterranean and the Middle East—looked askance when I told her that I was headed to Jerusalem to teach a seminar on Israel as a Jewish and democratic state.

    Civic Action, Civil Discourse & The Dogma Of Systemic Racism

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Sunday, June 13, 2021

    In a classic example of civic action, conservatives have undertaken a variety of initiatives to counter the upsurge in progressive efforts to enlist American schools, U.S. corporations, and all levels of government in the promotion of the doctrine that the United States is systemically racist. Progressives, who generally favor civic action, have responded with indignation, derision, and calumny. 

    Race, Justice, And The Old-Fashioned Liberal Spirit

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Sunday, December 12, 2021

    The partisans going to the barricades on opposing sides of America’s gaping political divide are united in the conviction that the old-fashioned liberal spirit has outlived its usefulness. A system that is rotten to the core and requires a radical overhaul, say the rabble rousers on the left, precludes toleration, civility, and the disposition to consider the merits of contending perspectives. 

    The Left's Hollow Complaints About Hobby Lobby

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Friday, July 11, 2014

    Progressives are fond of saying that they stand for empathy and compromise, and are quick to blame conservatives for polarizing our politics. Their feverish reaction last week to the Supreme Court’s thoughtful 5-4 decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. shows that progressives could use more of the virtues they claim as their own.

    America's Long-Running Conversation About Race And Justice

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Tuesday, July 13, 2021

    For more than a half century, popular culture, public policy, law, and universities in the United States have wrestled openly with questions of race and justice. Yet today’s progressives demand that schools, universities, corporations, and the federal government institute aggressive new curricula, training, and protocols because, according to them, the nation has scarcely begun to address the poisonous legacy of slavery and Jim Crow. 

    The West’s War On The West

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Sunday, April 24, 2022

    Exasperated parents have been known to admonish their self-centered, insolent, or sulking teen-agers with the words “You are your own worst enemy.” It is highly unusual, however, for privileged adults to avidly turn on the civilization that has formed them, awarded them high status, and showered them with sundry and unprecedented material comforts. Yet progressive elites in the West revel in making themselves the West’s own worst enemy.
