What is essentialism?

It is an unfitting faulty assumptionthat a group of people has a fixed

set of requisite attributes essential

to the essence of the group(gender, sexuality, ethnicity, or

race).


11/29

Salman Rushdie asserts that essentialism

demands that sources, forms, style,

language and symbol all derive from asupposedly homogeneous and unbroken

tradition (Commonwealth Literature Does

Not Exist, Imaginary Homelands: Essays

and Criticism, 1991, 67).


12/29

government position of authority in Indonesia.

Denying Black-Americans admission to

A country club guideline that bars Jews frommembership.

In 2015, women in Saudi Arabia will be

permitted to vote.

An illegitimate

denial of

access
