«Identity: Contemporary Identity Politics and the Struggle for Recognition» is Francis Fukuyama's political philosophy essay, in paperback (240 pages).
Francis Fukuyama analyzes how nation, religion, race or gender impose themselves on common citizenship and fuel identity-based populism. He links the rise of authoritarian leaders to institutional decay and the appeal to an exclusive «people», and warns that, without a universal idea of human dignity, political conflict will persist.
Published by Profile Books in 2019, it is the English edition of the work that appeared in 2018 under the original title «Identity: The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment».
For readers interested in political philosophy, populism and current debates on identity, nationalism and social polarization.
Francis Yoshihiro Fukuyama is an American political scientist, political economist, and international relations scholar. He is best known for his book The End of History and the Last Man (1992), which controversially argued that the worldwide spread of liberal democracies and Western free-market capitalism may represent the final step in humanity's sociocultural evolution and political struggle and the final form of human government.
