Description

Francis Fukuyama discusses his book, "Identity", at Politics and Prose on 9/19/18. Fukuyama's 2014 Political Order and Political Decay argued that America was splintering into a nation of contentious interest groups. In his new book he argues that this divisiveness, which has now taken a turn into populist nationalism, comes not from economic inequality, as is often assumed, but from identity politics. He shows how demands for recognition based on nation, religion, sect, race, ethnicity, and gender have shattered the unity the nation was built on. While acknowledging that identity must be recognized, Fukuyama, Olivier Nomellini Senior Fellow at Stanford University's Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, warns that we need to shape identity in a way that supports rather than undermines democracy.
