Seyla Benhabib quote "Since every search for identity includes differentiating oneself from what one is not, identity politics is always and necessarily a politics of the creation of difference".
Benhabib is saying that identity differentiates individuals and identity politics is politics made to be differentiated and identified.
To me the quote is not all clear, I am not sure of the meaning but to me in my opinion I think this quote is saying that people are always looking to be different and so they take politics to a level of also wanting to make it different and stand out by identifying and specifying what it is. there are many different types of politics and political systems including democratic, republic etc. Politics is to be clearly defined as to which one it is, since they are all different.
