Identity Politics

advertisement

The '60s may have seen the dawn of identity politics, but it wasn't until recently that identity politics became so ... political. Unfortunately, the choice between Democratic frontrunners has commonly been portrayed as a battle of allegiances: either you're for women or for the black community.

The black vs. woman battle has been played out on the 24-hour news circuit, but no less complicit in the creation of this divisive atmosphere are second-wave feminists and those influenced by them.
