The words "identity", "diversity", "multiculturalism", and
"Eurocentrism" have become familiar to us through a process of
political and cultural transformation. In the United States, a
great national debate rages over fears that the country will fall
apart and sacrifice its free speech to "political correctness". In
Europe, a related discussion has focused on the resurgence of
xenophobia and ethnic nationalism. Undoubtedly, these debates touch
on issues which, after the collapse of Cold War geopolitics, are
likely to remain with us for some time. "The Identity in Question"
provides a theoretical analysis of this issue and the questions it
raises about critical theory. The contributors to this collection
look behind the familiar words of the discourse to rethink notions
of universality and agency and the traditions of liberalism,
nationalism and pluralism. They investigate the meanings of
democracy and "radical democracy". They also ask how such notions
relate to questions of sexual orientation. More generally, the book
explores how the new critical theories and methods that have taken
shape over the last 20 years figure in these debates, along with
their conceptions of "otherness".
