Cultural identity is the
identity or feeling of belonging to a group. It is part of a person's self-conception and self-perception and is related to
nationality,
ethnicity,
religion,
social class,
generation,
locality or any kind of social group that has its own distinct
culture. In this way, cultural identity is both characteristic of the
individual but also of the culturally identical group of members sharing the same cultural identity. Cultural identity is similar to and overlaps with
identity politics.
