Abstract
In this paper, Weir reconsiders identity politics and their relation to feminist solidarity. She argues that the dimension of identity as "identification-with" has been the liberatory dimension of identity politics, and that this dimension has been overshadowed and displaced by a focus on identity as category. Weir addresses critiques of identification as a ground of solidarity, and sketches a model of identity and identity politics based not in sameness, but in transformative historical process.
