Abstract
The basis of this identification is what was introduced earlier as identity politics. The following chapter is therefore exploring some of the psychosocial and sociolinguistic preconditions of its phenomenon. However, to be able to talk of identity politics, one needs to contrast it with a different concept of politics. This alternative concept of politics may not be real. It may not even be realistic. For the purpose of this book, it serves as a contrastive device to expound the merits and flaws of identity politics. I shall call the alternative concept of politics ‘inclusive politics’. Inclusive politics is defined as non-hierarchical and peaceful, whereas identity politics is marked by a tendency of being exclusive and potentially harmful.
