Contents:

Introduction The Good, the bad, and the ugly of identity politics -- Chapter one The Claims of cultural identity groups -- Chapter two The Value of voluntary groups -- Chapter three Identification by ascription -- Chapter four Is religious identity special? -- Conclusion Integrating identity in democracy.

Summary: Written by one of America's leading political thinkers, this is a book about the good, the bad, and the ugly of identity politics. Amy Gutmann rises above the raging polemics that often characterize discussions of identity groups and offers a fair-minded assessment of the role they play in democracies. She addresses fundamental questions of timeless urgency while keeping in focus their relevance to contemporary debates: Do some identity groups undermine the greater democratic good and thus their own legitimacy in a democratic society? Even if so, how is a democracy to fairly distinguish between.
