Identity politics is not over, it's going to intensify: the ancient roots of identity politics.
iai News.
Abstract
Is the dominance of identity politics over? Yesterday, we published an article which claimed that it is. But today pioneering political scientist Jean-Paul Faguet argues that we should expect identity politics to get even more intense and dangerous. Class-based politics is giving way to identitarian politics, and the rise of a tribal, nativist populism is only accelerating this shift. This should be no surprise, he argues: politics organised around class interests which cut across ethnic boundaries was always a historical anomaly. In the broad sweep of human history, identity politics has been the norm.
