Identity politics is a political approach wherein people of a particular race, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, social background, social class, or other identifying factors develop political agendas that are based upon these identities.[1] Identity politics is deeply connected with the idea that some groups in society are oppressed and begins with analysis of that oppression.[2] The term is used primarily to describe political movements in western societies, covering nationalist, multicultural, women's rights, civil rights, and LGBT movements.[1][2]
