      ab: Does ressentiment politics prevent disempowered minorities from creating new identities, new forms of expression, and new ways of mobilizing on their own terms, forcing them to reproduce already existing oppressive hegemonic discourses? In identity-seeking discourses addressing discrimination, marginalized groups occasionally adopt elements they challenge. This study examines how ressentiment politics, might limit minorities from forging new identities. Using Nietzschean concept of ressentiment as a theoretical framework, this study investigates this concept's applicability to the case of Azerbaijanis in Iran by comparing three Azerbaijani discourses with Iran's hegemonic discourse using a critical discourse analysis method. Results show these discourses, while opposing the hegemony, inadvertently reflect or counter the dominant narrative they aim to overcome.
