Autor Gary Youngeen Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 iun 2011 – vârsta de la 13 ani
From
those
who
insist
that
Barack
Obama
is
Muslim
to
the
European
legislators
who
go
to
extraordinary
lengths
to
ban
items
of
clothing
worn
by
a
tiny
percentage
of
their
populations,
Gary
Younge
shows,
in
this
fascinating,
witty,
and
provocative
examination
of
the
enduring
legacy
and
obsession
with
identity
in
politics
and
everyday
life,
that
how
we
define
ourselves
informs
every
aspect
of
our
social,
political,
and
personal
lives.
Younge--a
black
British
male
of
Caribbean
descent
living
in
Brooklyn,
New
York,
who
speaks
fluent
Russian
and
French--travels
the
planet
in
search
of
answers
to
why
identity
is
so
combustible.
From
Tiger
Woods's
legacy
to
the
scandal
over
Danish
cartoons
of
the
Prophet
Mohammed,
he
finds
that
identity
is
inescapable,
but
solidarity
may
not
be
as
elusive
as
we
fear.
