Identity By Francis Fukuyama

Identity: The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment by Francis Fukuyama explores how the modern quest for recognition and dignity has shaped political movements around the world. Fukuyama examines the roots of identity politics — from nationalism and religion to gender and race — and argues that the struggle for identity is now the defining force in global politics. Offering historical insight and contemporary analysis, he suggests ways to rebuild a shared sense of purpose and belonging in an increasingly divided world.
