What is essentialism?
It is an unfitting faulty assumptionthat a group of people has a fixed
set of requisite attributes essential
to the essence of the group(gender, sexuality, ethnicity, or
race).

demands that sources, forms, style,
language and symbol all derive from asupposedly homogeneous and unbroken
tradition (Commonwealth Literature Does
Not Exist, Imaginary Homelands: Essays
and Criticism, 1991, 67).
