Chapter | L’altro non sono io
Abstract
Through the analysis of some texts recently published in English, this chapter aims to analyse the recent academic debate in the English-speaking world on the role of identity in the growth of consensus and diffusion of populist parties and movements. The first part of this study reconstructs the origins of the so-called identity politics, starting from the movements for the recognition of the 1980s and in particular from protests against the publication of the book The Satanic Verses of Salman Rushdie; the second part analyses the meaning of identity and the related concept of identity politics; the third part deals with some aspects of identity politics today and how the academic debate uses the category of white identity in relation to current populist politics; the chapter concludes with some critical reflections both on the use of the category of identity politics and on an interpretation of identity as a monolithic and homogeneous entity.
