| Abstract: | Our lives take shape around identities. Race, religion, sexual orientation, and other collective identities impose scripts that dictate how we should think, act, and associate. African Americans should support reparations and affirmative action. Evangelical Christians should associate with true believers and feel outraged by same sex-marriage. Gays and lesbians should come out and engage in LBGTQ+ activism. When identities are scripted too tightly, we get boxed in and democracy suffers. In 'Boxed In', philosophers Derrick Darby and Eduardo J. Martinez diagnose the profound challenge that inflexible identities pose for democracy and offer a novel prescription that involves taking up civic responsibilities to search for, make visible, and attend to group differences in background, perspective, and empowerment. |

| | "This chapter describes and analyses the phenomenon of being boxed in by tightly-scripted identities. It answers three key questions: 1. What does it mean for collective identities to be tightly-scripted? 2. How do tightly-scripted identities box us in? 3. How does boxing in get in the way of our projects? In addition to describing the phenomenon of being boxed in via numerous case studies, the chapter also establishes a taxonomy of the different ways that we can be boxed in by tight scripts: how we think and feel, how we act, and who we associate with. The answers to the chapters' key questions, and the phenomenon of being boxed in, are illustrated using examples including Charlie Parker, Jay-Z and Oprah, soccer chants, trans members of the U.S. military, Ralph Ellison, Christian Conservatives interested in criminal justice, and MENA Americans' perspectives on the U.S. census"-- |
