IDENTITY

Boekbeoordeling

Meer over het boek

In 2014, Francis Fukuyama observed the decay of American institutions, noting the capture of the state by powerful interest groups. His predictions materialized with the rise of political outsiders whose economic nationalism and authoritarianism threatened global stability. These populist nationalists establish a direct, charismatic connection to "the people," often defined in narrow identity terms that foster in-group solidarity while excluding many. The demand for recognition of identity has become a central theme in contemporary world politics, challenging the universal recognition foundational to liberal democracy. This has led to the rise of anti-immigrant populism, politicized Islam, contentious identity politics on college campuses, and white nationalism. While often attributed to economic motivations, populist nationalism is fundamentally rooted in the quest for recognition, which cannot be resolved solely through economic means. Addressing the demand for identity is crucial; we must reshape it to support democracy rather than undermine it. This urgent and necessary work serves as a stark warning: without forging a universal understanding of human dignity, we risk perpetuating conflict and division.
