DESCRIPTION +

In Identity and Violence, Amartya Sen, a Nobel Prize-winning economist and philosopher, explores how rigid identities fuel conflict and violence worldwide. He argues against the idea that people belong to singular, fixed identities—such as religion, nationality, or ethnicity—showing instead that identity is fluid, multiple, and shaped by choice and circumstances.

Sen critiques the “clash of civilizations” theory, explaining how identity-based divisions are often manipulated for political gain. The book calls for a more inclusive and pluralistic understanding of identity, crucial for reducing ethnic, religious, and national conflicts.
