an effective decision is always a judgment based on “dissenting opinions” rather than on “consensus on the facts.”
The Effective Executive
Peter F. Drucker
The first use of the term 'identity politics' emerged from Black feminist socialism, not liberalism, and it was strongly connected to ideas that would later be termed intersectional. Only after the concept 'identity politics' had emerged on the radical left did liberals latch on to it and develop their own meaning for it.The first people to popularise the term 'identity politics'- or some say, the first to use it at all were the US-based Black feminist group the Combahee River Collective. The Combahee River Collective was openly revolutionary and socialist. Their activities included educational work, running consciousness-raising groups, picketing racist workplaces, supporting Black people who had been targeted by the police, and much more (Harris 2001). Their strongest legacy is the Statement they published in 1977, which has reached such fame partly because includes the first widely known use of the term 'identity politics'.
