Evidence

The traditional emphases, in which differentiated types of struggle, for example, around schooling, cultural or sexual politics, and institutions of civil society like the family, traditional social organizations, ethnic and cultural institutions, and the like, are all subordinated and reduced to an industrial struggle, condensed around the workplace, and a simple choice between trade-union and insurrectionary or parliamentary forms of politics, is here systematically challenged and decisively overthrown. The impact on the very conception of politics itself is little short of electrifying. — Stuart Hall, Essential Essays, Volume 2, 120
