Identity: The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment

Francis Fukuyama's Identity is a thought-provoking examination of modern identity politics, shedding light on its origins, effects, and implications for domestic and international affairs.

Fukuyama, a renowned political scientist and best-selling author, argues that the demand for recognition of one's identity has become a master concept in world politics today, leading to narrower forms of recognition based on nation, religion, sect, race, ethnicity, or gender.

This has resulted in anti-immigrant populism, politicized Islam, campus "identity liberalism," and the emergence of white nationalism.

However, Fukuyama offers a solution to this problem by proposing that we must begin to shape identity in a way that supports rather than undermines democracy.

This book is an urgent and necessary warning, as failure to do so may lead to the downfall of our society.
