Linked fate
Linked fate is a concept in political science which describes the mechanism by which group consciousness leads to political cohesion among members of a social identity group.[1] It originated in African-American studies, as individuals who perceived their fates as individuals to be highly linked to those of other in-group members were posited to be more conscious of the group's interests as whole when making political decisions (such as voting).[2] Furthermore, notions of linked fate have been observed among Asian Americans,[3] Hispanic Americans[4] and Muslim Americans[5].
