Identity politics dominates the organisation of liberation
movements today. This is the case whether fighting over one's
birthright to a nation, such as in the Palestinian/Israeli
conflict; lobbying for civil rights, such as in gay and lesbian
campaigns for marriage; or struggling for citizenry recognition as
currently experienced by asylum seekers. In this book Carolyn
D'Cruz investigates the nexus between what David Birch describes as
'the seemingly impossible of high theory and the seemingly
accessible possibilities of popular discourse', as encountered in
liberation movements based on identity. D'Cruz reworks the logic of
such movements through the unique combination of Derridean
deconstruction, Foucauldian discourse and Levinasian ethics. Moving
both within and between the domains of philosophy, politics and
'postmodern culture' this book offers both a clear explication of
complex philosophical issues and an understanding of how they
relate to the political practicalities of everyday life.
