Identity Politics Shapes Global Discourse
Identity politics dominates contemporary political landscapes across both national and international arenas. It influences various global conflicts, such as Vladimir Putin's justification for actions in Ukraine and the dynamics in Israel and Palestine. This form of politics is not a modern phenomenon; its roots can be traced back to the American past, including the emergence of feminism within evangelical Christianity in the mid-19th century. The pervasive nature of identity politics underscores its critical role in shaping current events and historical narratives alike.
