As Garza said in her writing, identity politics is hard to understand and give meaning to because of the number of times it’s been tainted by society. I see identity politics as a form of politics set toward an individual. I like the idea of having identity politics. You have your own political views based on your personal values and identity standards. I find it hard to explain, but Garza explains here,” Identity politics was developed by Black feminists who refused to be defined personally or politically by a set of standards that were not their own.” This can relate to Williams’ “Too Latina To Be Black, Too Black To Be Latina,” “I’m learning to embrace every aspect of my identity and not let small minds put me in a box that just doesn’t fit. I’m Latina. I’m black. Also, I’m human. No one can take that from me.” Identity politics was corrupted by society, but as we learn more about our identities and flaunt them as we can because we are proud of who we are. For the remainder of the semester, I am not sure what we should do to be honest. Maybe it’d be more interesting in focusing on race, but mainly how race and inequality affects women of color in the workplace. As a woman of color, it’d be interesting to learn a bit more about that. Maybe also talking about the effects of motherhood on women, or something along those lines. We can also talk/watch movies with female leads that break societal stereotypes.
