“The entire vision of creative differences, of particular identities contributing to a united world, threatened by the violent pressure on the minorities to 'integrate'--in other words, by the false universality of the Western way of life, which imposes itself as a standard for all--is to be rejected in its entirety. The world we live in is one, but it is such because it is traversed (and, in a way, even held together) by the same antagonism that is inscribed into the very heart of global capitalism. Universality is not located over and above particular identities, it is an antagonism that cuts from within each 'way of life'. This antagonism determines all emancipatory struggles: explicit and unwritten rules of hierarchy, homophobia, male domination and so on are key constituents of the 'way of life' in which such struggles occur.”
