## Reception

[edit]

Identity Politics, while praised for Phelan's ability to combine her knowledge of philosophical literature and contemporary political analysis,[1] critical response has noted its tendency towards totalizing theories. Likewise, Phelan's assumptions are said to "obscure the ways in which sexual identity is situated within multiple and overlapping social and discursive horizons and across the very terrain of difference and heterogeneity."[2]
