"Who are we?" is the question at the core of these fascinating
essays from one of the nation's leading intellectual historians.
With old identities increasingly destabilized throughout the world
the result of demographic migration, declining empires, and the
quickening integration of the global capitalist economy and its
attendant communications systems David A. Hollinger argues that the
problem of group solidarity is emerging as one of the central
challenges of the twenty-first century. Building on many of the
topics in his highly acclaimed earlier work, these essays treat a
number of contentious issues, many of them deeply embedded in
America's past and present political polarization. Essays include
"Amalgamation and Hypodescent," "Enough Already: Universities Do
Not Need More Christianity," "Cultural Relativism," "Why Are Jews
Preeminent in Science and Scholarship: The Veblen Thesis
Reconsidered," and "The One Drop Rule and the One Hate Rule."
Hollinger is at his best in his judicious approach to America's
controversial history of race, ethnicity, and religion, and he
offers his own thoughtful prescriptions as Americans and others
throughout the world struggle with the pressing questions of
identity and solidarity."
