How do this week’s readings by Garza and Williams (and Anzaldua if you did the optional reading) expand your understanding of identity politics?
In order to prioritize freedom for everyone and an extension of inclusion without contrast to biased emancipation that benefits some while enslaving others, identity politics had to be reshaped within feminist groups. A political movement known as “identity politics” is one that was started by a specific group, race, nation, culture, or social class in order to effect change. I believe identity politics is a movement that seeks to freely embrace all oppressed people without excluding anyone or opposing the liberation of the oppressed, according to my understanding of the term. Identity politics helps enforce the power to bring improvement for all, regardless of their race,age, sex, social class, religion, and but not limited to gender. This also everyone to achieve a common goal free from prejudice and discrimination.
What topics would you like to explore as a class in the remaining weeks of the semester? Optional: Why these topics?
A few topics I would like to explore in the remaining weeks of the semester will be the following:
-Abortion rights, Same-sex parenting, Same-sex adoption rights, and Gender stereotypes.
Good Donya-Shae. Yes, in the end, this is about liberating everyone, not just those who identify in a particular way.
Love your topics!
