| SUMMARY: |
The discourses on identity in the era of post-modernity, post-colonialism, and possibly
post-nation state, have taken on greater significance. This discussion, however, raises
some essential theoretical questions, such as: ‘Is one’s identity, in the present, a stable
state of being or a descent below construction processes?’. Moreover, David Hollinger
(44) poses a key question about communal, ethnic and identity formation in the U.S.:
“Who decides what your identity is?”, a question that proves instrumental in a discussion
on identity politics and identity ascription. |
