Identity And Violence By Amartya Sen

In Identity and Violence, Nobel laureate Amartya Sen examines how narrow definitions of identity—religion, nationality, culture, or ethnicity—fuel conflict and division in the modern world. Sen argues for a broader, plural understanding of human identity that emphasizes shared humanity over rigid categories. With intellectual clarity and moral urgency, he challenges destructive narratives and offers a framework for fostering peace and coexistence in an increasingly divided global society.
