“Identity politics” is a concept used to describe politics based on ethnic, racial, nationalist, or any other status identity such as gender or sexual orientation. The term is predominantly used to critique the politics of various social movements, rather than being used as an analytic concept to explain a particular social phenomenon. This entry examines three main theoretical approaches to identity politics.
