thought-provoking title which explores the philosophical implications of and for identity.
Since 9/11, issues of identity - national, religious, ethnic, community, and personal - have been at the heart of political debate in the West. In the United Kingdom, re-evaluating the idea of 'Britishness' and the limits, merits and future of multiculturalism will be the major political challenge of the new millennium. In the United States, a nation built on immigration, the events of 9/11 cut across established issues and patterns of identity in complicated ways. In the immediate aftermath, the US experienced an upsurge in national pride. However, this national unity has turned out to be fragile. Identity is inevitably a major part of public discourse in the West. Yet politicians, political commentators and media pundits show little awareness of the philosophical and sociological complications that these issues raise. Identity Crisis addresses that deficit by exploring the philosophical implications of and for identity.
