Explore the meaning of identity politics, drawing on the readings in the resources. Consider, for example, the following questions:
• How did people become identified, historically, as heterosexual or homosexual (note that these specific distinctions were unknown until the latter part of the nineteenth century)?
• How have people become pegged, as it were, to their ethnic group? (Note that St. Augustine in the fourth century CE may have been "black," that is, Afro-Roman; it would not have occurred to the Romans to mention his "ethnicity.")
• Speculate as to why these distinctions are so important to Americans. What do they say about American culture?
