Identity and Violence by Amartya Sen Fba
Examines the explosive problems of our time and shows how we can move towards peace as firmly as we have spiralled towards war. In this book, the author argues that we are becoming increasingly divided along lines of religion and culture, ignoring the many other ways in which people see themselves, from class and profession to morals and politics.
