The new social movements of the postwar era have brought to
prominence the idea that identity can be a crucial focus for
political struggle. The civil rights movement, anti-colonial
movements in the Third World, the women's movement, the gay
movement - all have sought the affirmation of excluded identities
as publicly good and politically salient. Similar issues have long
informed nationalist struggles.
The rise of identity politics is also linked to an increasing
recognition that social theory itself must be a discourse with many
voices. An increasingly transnational sphere of public and academic
discourse - and increasing roles for women, gay men and lesbians,
people of color, and various previously excluded groups - impels
all social theorists not only to make sense of differences in
society, but to make sense of differences within the discourse of
theory.
This collective volume is the product of that conviction.
