“The Power of Identity Politics” by Garza and “Too Latina To Be Black, Too Black To Be Latina” by Williams both address important aspects of identity politics and the experience of marginalized communities. Garza’s article explores the power of identity politics in creating social change, and argues that understanding and centering the experiences of marginalized communities is essential to creating a more just and equitable society. Williams’ article examines the experiences of Afro-Latinx individuals, who often face discrimination and erasure within both Black and Latinx communities. Both articles highlight the importance of recognizing the diversity and complexity of marginalized communities. From reading these two text I learned a lot about issues related to intersectionality and the complexity of identity within marginalized communities from two different perspectives.
