Who are we? Identity politics dissected
Identity politics are now pervasive. Universal principles are turned to dust by the phrases ‘As a black woman’, ‘As a gay man’ or ‘As a Muslim’. People increasingly categorise themselves by race, gender, sexuality, religion, and culture. Yet historically, progressive political movements fought for people not to be defined by their race, religion, gender or sexuality. Modernity has been the story of forging one’s identity in defiance of birth or biology, through what you achieved, by engaging with the world beyond yourself. But increasingly, radicals seem to be rediscovering the lure of essentialism. Filmed at the Battle of Ideas quite a panel of luminaries and an outspoken audience do more than make polite conversation. Share the video and your thoughts.
