Description and Table of Contents

Description

Despite the homogenising effect of globalisation, identity politics have gained significance-numerous groups have achieved political goals and gained recognition based on, for example, their common gender, religion, ethnicity, or disability. Are each of these groups unique, or can comparisons be drawn among them? What is the impact of globalisation on identity politics? The authors of `Identity Politics' offer a comprehensive analytical framework and detailed case studies to explain how identity-based collectives both exploit and are shaped by the new realities of a globalised world.
