I read "Who Are We - and Should It Matter in the 21st Century?" by Gary Younge and it is an excellent book. I think he is sometimes a little too sympathetic to radical Islam for my liking. It was written nearly a decade ago now, but is still very relevant.
It has made me think about the issue of identity and identity politics. I am glad he is critical of Eric Hobsbawm's Marxist-inspired insistence that nationalism and identity are not major historical forces. But I hope they become less and less important and I think they will.
