{"product_id":"9781781259818","title":"Identity","description":"\u003cp\u003eIncreasingly, 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result: increasing in anti-immigrant sentiment, rioting on college campuses, and the return of open white supremacy to our politics. In 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese 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.Identity 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"APD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51659672813814,"sku":"9781781259818","price":79.9,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0767\/8050\/3286\/files\/9781781259818.jpg?v=1789633082","url":"https:\/\/shop.litbooks.com.my\/products\/9781781259818","provider":"Lit Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
