*A NEW RELEASE*
This book deals intensively and critically with urgent issues facing the globalized world. The way we think and live, our choices in elections, and our fears are increasingly determined by our personal identity. In his revolutionary work, Gary Younge argues that we have retreated into shelters of race, class, religion, or national identity to survive in a situation that seems indifferent to us. From his childhood in Stevenage to today's America, from Europe's borders to divisions in South Africa, Younge explores the issues that connect the powerful elite with poor immigrants, fundamentalists, and conservatives. In this dynamic analysis of modern society, Gary Younge calls on us not to succumb to what divides us, but through solidarity to seek a common - and higher - ground.
“With remarkable clarity, Gary Younge carefully guides us through a political minefield” - Andrea Levy.
“A necessary guide to 'identity' in politics, and a wonderful read” - Margaret Atwood.
“An absorbing and thoughtful discussion on identity” - Financial Times.
