subtitled A Personal Meditation on the Dangers of Identity
An interesting short critical essay on the problem of identity in this age of migration. She basically comes out in praise of cosmopolitanism and subtle, complex personal identities. She highlights the falseness and artificiality of narrow identities and the tendency to stay within these narrow groups and highlights the social problems that arise from this. While it has a large application, she also makes the point that these narrow identities come into play on both sides in the Muslim issues of current European politics and society.
