Scenarios about 'identity politics'
Identity politics refers to political positions based on the interests and perspectives of social groups with which people identify, often concerning race, gender, sexuality, religion, or disability status. This approach emerged prominently in the late 20th century as marginalized groups organized around shared experiences of discrimination and sought recognition, rights, and representation. In alternate history scenarios, examining how different identity-based movements might have developed under changed historical circumstances offers insights into social cohesion, power structures, and cultural evolution.
