Abstract

Identity politics is emancipatory since it gives voice to diverse communities. During an emancipatory mission, identity formations also privilege certain themes, ideas, and ideologies that align with their standpoint. Privileging this way tantamounts to exclusionism. I review patterns of such a privileging by deploying disability as an analytical lens.
