SEN Amartya
Identity and violence : the illusion of destiny/ Amartya Sen - New York : W W Norton, 2006 - xx, 215 p.
A discussion of the dangers inherent in reducing the enormous complexity and diversity of human beings and their interactions to simple broad sweeps such as religion, or race, or nationality. Argues that attempts to stop violence arising from such single concept labeling are prone to failure or worse. Calls for a more nuanced approach to the concept of identity in world affairs and at the personal level.
