TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - Global Feminism and Transformative Identity Politics JO - Hypatia A1 - Weir, Allison SP - 110 EP - 133 VL - 23 IS - 4 N2 - In this paper, Weir reconsiders identity politics and their relation to feminist solidarity. She argues that the dimension of identity as “identification-with” has been the liberatory dimension of identity politics, and that this dimension has been overshadowed and displaced by a focus on identity as category. Weir addresses critiques of identification as a ground of solidarity, and sketches a model of identity and identity politics based not in sameness, but in transformative historical process.
