Beyond Blood Identities uncovers the social psychology of those who
hold strong blood identities. In this highly original work, Jason
D. Hill argues that strong racial, ethnic and national identities,
which he refers to as "tribal identities," function according to a
separatist logic that does irreparable damage to our moral lives.
Drawing on scholarship in philosophy, sociology, and cultural
anthropology, Hill contends that strong tribalism is a form of
pathology. Beyond Blood Identities shows how a particular
understanding of culture could lead to a new theoretical approach
to enriched human living. Hill develops a new version of
cosmopolitanism that he calls post-human cosmopolitanism to solve a
number of challenges in contemporary society. From the problem of
defining culture, the failure of multiculturalism, the question of
who owns native culture, the identification of Jews as post-human
people and the problem of their status as "chosen people" in a
modern world, the author applies a cosmopolitan analysis to some of
the major problems in our global and interdependent world. He
posits a world in which community has been dispensed with and
replaced by its successor term sociality-the broad unmarked space
in which creative social intercourse takes place. Hill applies a
new cosmopolitanism to ideate a new post-humanity for the
twenty-first century.
