Identity politics: Micro and macro politics of race, class, gender
Read Dunk, Thomas (2002) "Hunting and the politics of identity in Ontario." Capitalism, Nature, Socialism. 13(1): 36-66. ABI/Inform, Proquest Research Library
- Dunk critically examines the use of cultural identity politics by white male hunting associations in their fight to challenge restrictions on hunting in Ontario
- what does he say is their argument and how does he critique it?
- OFAH and NOTO:
- use of "tribal slot" and "authentic tradition"
- use of sociobiology
- presentation of struggle as though between rich urban environmentalists and rural small-business people and workers
- Dunk’s analysis of these positions
- what approach does Dunk propose as an alternative to the culturalist identity politics used by OFAH?
