{"product_id":"identity-9781781259818","title":"IDENTITY","description":"Currently in Bill Gates;s bookbag and FT Books of 2018\n\nIncreasingly, the demands of identity direct the world;s politics. Nation, religion, sect, race, ethnicity, gender: these categories have overtaken broader, inclusive ideas of who we are. We have built walls rather than bridges. The result: increasing in anti-immigrant sentiment, rioting on college campuses, and the return of open white supremacy to our politics.\n\nIn 2014, Francis Fukuyama wrote that American and global institutions were in a state of decay, as the state was captured by powerful interest groups. Two years later, his predictions were borne out by the rise to power of a series of political outsiders whose economic nationalism and authoritarian tendencies threatens to destabilise the entire international order. These populist nationalists seek direct charismatic connection to ;the people;, who are usually defined in narrow identity terms that offer an irresistible call to an in-group and exclude large parts of the population as a whole.\n\nIdentity is an urgent and necessary book: a sharp warning that unless we forge a universal understanding of human dignity, we will doom ourselves to continual conflict.","brand":"Amazon Import","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46045042049195,"sku":"178125981X","price":399.2,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0746\/0015\/3259\/files\/4833ae92ab561ff876d9f1c2933a255d.jpg?v=1768407833","url":"https:\/\/bookpyramid.in\/products\/identity-9781781259818","provider":"Book Pyramid","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
