this troquoise book box with a purple triangle is in front of Little House Cafe contains mix of…read morefictions, nonfiction books. reads: "Identity: the Demand for dignity and the politics of resentment" (Frances Fukuyama) -Fukuyama traced political identity from Plato to the present day. main themes are the human desire for recognition and dignity. *short book identifying identity politics but offers no realistic solutions. themes: -identity politics = beliefs based on ethnicity, race, religion, sexuality or other parameters, not on politics of equality and brotherhood. -declared liberal democracies in the Western world would defeat communism. ("The End of History....) and is abolute top rendition of the fromer. now he's concern identity politics will derail liberal democracies. -claims identity politics are exclusive in nature and doesn't work for the common good. examples: a)"upper class form identify politics on campuses that ignores glaring inequaities of the top 1% & the remaining 99%". b)"newer groups draw attention away from older, large groups, whose 'serious problems' have been ignored" c)"focus on lived experience threatens free speech in the public sphere".. -identity political led to "politics of resentment" a)which claim mexicans are ruining the country b)and they are not permitted to talk about it. c)facilitated the emergence of Donald Trump et al. who performed as a fighter for right-wing identity against political correctness and oppossed changes to the national, ethnic and racial makeup ot the US. D.T. was also a trojan horse who gave away America's assets to the 1% in the name of freedom while further improversing the 99%. note: identity political & "politics of resentment" seem mirror images of each other. Fukayama's book is based on US history only. he opposed Trump's ascent. Trump's identity politics is similar to the nationalism trends in India, Italy, Sweden, China, and most of Eastern Europe. Fukayama's identity politics thesis doesn't address the entitlement, subjagation, & privilege issues in America that gave rise to identity politics. his preordained solutions are too simple, his analysis of identity politics is too narrow. Fukayama's book is thinly researched per his narrow focus. it's still a great book. focusing on what's happening in real time, not pre-ordained will enhance the creation of a a realistic narrative and/or solution.
