Who Are We-And Should It Matter in the 21st Century?

The book "How We Define Ourselves" by Gary Younge is a thought-provoking examination of the enduring legacy and obsession with identity in politics and everyday life.

Through a fascinating and witty journey across the globe, Younge reveals how our definitions of ourselves inform every aspect of our social, political, and personal lives.

From Tiger Woods's legacy to the scandal over Danish cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, he finds that identity is inescapable but solidarity may not be as elusive as we fear.

This book provides a searing analysis of how our definitions of race, gender, and religion affect every part of our lives, from violence on the streets to international terrorism, and personal safety to military occupations.

With surprising connections and critiques, "How We Define Ourselves" is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of identity in today's world.
