Synopsis
In this cogent and persuasive examination of identity in the modern world, Amin Maalouf moves across the world's history, faiths, and politics, outlining the way the notion of a singular identity—personal, religious, ethnic, or national—can give rise to heated passions and even massive crimes. Although written before the events of September 11, the essence of Maalouf's rumination couldn't be more relevant.
Reviews
On Oct 16 2010, ElectricEel said:
A very necessary book in this ago of self-righteous violence and the death of the melting pot. Maalouf claims that accepting and loving one's own culture does not require one to reject others.
