Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Paperback. Named a Best Book of the Year by The Economist, Financial Times, Inc., Prospect Magazine, and The ConversationThe most comprehensive and reasonable story of this shift that has yet been attempted . . . Mounk has told the story of the Great Awokening better than any other writer who has attempted to make sense of it. The Washington PostAn intellectual tour de force about the origins of identity politics and the threat it presents to genuine, honest, old-fashioned liberalism. Bret Stephens, The New York TimesAmong the most insightful and important books written in the last decade on American democracy and its current torments, because it also shows us a way out of the trap. Jonathan Haidt, author of The Righteous Mind, and coauthor of The Coddling of the American MindOutstanding. David Brooks, The New York TimesA fascinating account of the origins of wokenessand a trenchant explanation for why the noble goals of identity politics are doomed to failFor much of history, societies have violently oppressed ethnic, religious, and sexual minorities. It is no surprise that many came to believe that members of marginalized groups need to take pride in their identity to resist injustice. But over the past decades, a healthy appreciation for the culture and heritage of minority groups transformed into our contemporary form of identity politics, a counterproductive obsession with group identity. This new ideology denies that members of different groups can truly understand each other and insists that the way governments treat their citizens should depend on the color of their skin.This, Yascha Mounk argues, is the identity trap. Those who battle for these ideas are often full of good intentions. But they ultimately stand in the way of the genuine equality we desperately need. Mounk was one of the first to warn of the risks that right-wing populists pose to American democracy, a danger that remains as serious as ever. But as he shows here, the identitarian left and the populist right actually reinforce each other; to vanquish one, it is necessary to oppose both.In The Identity Trap, Mounk provides the most ambitious and comprehensive account to date of the origins, consequences, and limitations of wokeness. He shows how postmodernism, postcolonialism, and critical race theory conquered many college campuses and forged an identity synthesis that gained tremendous influence in business, media, and government by 2020. Finally, Mounk makes a nuanced philosophical case for why these ideas are so counterproductiveand why universal, humanist values can best serve the vital goal of true equality. The Identity Trap provides truth and clarity where they are needed most. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability. …
