Please keep in mind that even the term identity politics is fraught with misunderstanding. Even a quick skimming of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_politics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_politics shows how complex even the term can be. Here are only three examples of how identity politics might be used. It can be used to describe: 1. how minority groups fight oppression based on skin color 2. how a majority group, perceiving a threat, joins together (often based on baser instincts) 3. a tendency for political parties to connect primarily on surface-level attributes of people, rather than substantive root causes Which of these (if any) do you mean when you talk about identity politics? Caveat: I am no expert on the term.
