We all know how identities - notably, those of nationality, class, culture, race, and religion - are at the root of global conflict, but the more elusive truth is that these identities are created by conflict in the first place. In provocative, entertaining chapters, Kwame Anthony Appiah interweaves keen-edged argument with engrossing historical tales and reveals the tangled contradictions within the stories that define us.

Fresh air for identity consideration
Revisado: 08-10-19
Appiah effectively describes, considers, and invites wonder about the ways we experience and judge identities. Religion, gender, race, class (including money, education, and social connections) are all tested and questioned and asked to hold up to a test of whether they indeed divide humanity or whether we make the mistake of projecting “essential” identity qualities on complicated humans and flatten our opportunities for reliable and humane relationships.
Highly recommended - especially the audio version read by the author. (For those of us who are audio learners)
