Based on the ongoing work of the agenda-setting Future of Minority Studies national research project, Identity Politics Reconsidered reconceptualizes the scholarly and political significance of social identity. It focuses on the deployment of 'identity' within ethnic, women's, disability, and gay and lesbian studies in order to stimulate discussion about issues that are simultaneously theoretical and practical, ranging from ethics and epistemology to political theory and pedagogical practice. This collection of powerful essays by both well-known and emerging scholars offers original answers to questions concerning the analytical legitimacy of 'identity' and 'experience', and the relationships among cultural autonomy, moral universalism and progressive politics.
Identity Politics Reconsidered (Future of Minority Studies) Reviews
-
I love this book - so many great essays in here. A great crash course in various elements of identity construction and presentation. I read this as part of a course on the rhetorics of diversity and their classroom applications. The essays in here inform my classroom practice by helping me to be more conscious of my students' intersecting identities. Ultimately, I hope that continued study in this field will allow me to better facilitate the formation and expression of positive and engaged classroom identities in my students.

Interesting, but not so fun to review because it is a textbook.
