Essays exploring to what extent Nietzsche's thought can aid us in understanding politicized identities.

Contemporary political struggles often find their origins in conflicts based on race, religion and region, gender and sexuality, or class. Given the need for conceptual resources to meet such challenges, this volume of essays explores the extent to which Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy can be of use to us in these struggles. In Nietzsche and Politicized Identities, emerging and leading Nietzsche scholars offer fresh insights into various central questions: How do our politicized identities form and develop their legitimacy? What sorts of functions do such identities serve? What political ideals does Nietzsche advocate? What conceptual tools for reanimating liberatory political projects does Nietzsche promote? How might we organize politically to affirm life and acknowledge the tragic as we avoid the pull of nihilism? The essays within this volume engage these questions and offer fresh, at times surprising, answers.

Rebecca Bamford is Reader in Philosophy at Queen's University Belfast and the author (with Keith Ansell-Pearson) of Nietzsche's Dawn: Philosophy, Ethics, and the Passion of Knowledge. Allison Merrick is Associate Professor of Philosophy at California State University, San Marcos.
