Micropolitics and identity-group organizing are themselves postmodern phenomena

Evidence

But it is no less true that the “micropolitics” that corresponds to the emergence of this whole range of small-group, nonclass political practices is a profoundly postmodern phenomenon, or else the word has no meaning whatsoever. In that sense, the foundational description and the “working ideology” of the new politics, as it is found in Chantal Mouffe and Ernesto Laclau’s fundamental Hegemony and Socialist Strategy, is overtly postmodern and must be studied in the larger context we have proposed for this term. — Fredric Jameson, Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic…, 694
