In the coming decades, questions of identity, meaning cultural heritage, language, and religion will play a central role in politics.
The question really is what will be the central focus of global politics in the coming decades and my argument is that cultural identities and cultural antagonisms and affiliations will play not the only role but a major role.
We really only came around to accepting and integrating the propositional dimension of identity into a concept of ourselves at the time of the American Revolution.
People have multiple identities.
