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.

"…this is a worthwhile volume for those interested in Nietzsche scholarship and how it might enrich thinking about what is at stake in arguments about 'identity politics.'" — CHOICE"By bringing together thinkers interested in feminism, Black studies, (dis)ability studies, decolonial philosophy, and those writing about identity more broadly in Nietzsche, Nietzsche and Politicized Identities provides an important and timely resource for scholars and students." — Willow Verkerk, author of Nietzsche and Friendship
