The Identity Trap
A Story of Ideas and Power in Our Time
What is The Identity Trap about?
Political scientist Yascha Mounk traces the intellectual history of what he calls the 'identity synthesis,' following ideas from postmodernism, postcolonial theory, and critical race theory as they moved from the academy into mainstream institutions. He argues for a return to liberal universalism as a more effective basis for pluralistic democracies.
