Why are we so concerned with belonging? In what ways does our
belonging constitute our identity? Is belonging a universal concept
or a culturally dependent value? How does belonging situate and
motivate us? Joseph E. David grapples with these questions through
a genealogical analysis of ideas and concepts of belonging. His
book transports readers to crucial historical moments in which
perceptions of belonging have been formed, transformed, or
dismantled. The cases presented here focus on the pivotal role
played by belonging in kinship, law, and political order,
stretching across cultural and religious contexts from
eleventh-century Mediterranean religious legal debates to
twentieth-century statist liberalism in Western societies. With his
thorough inquiry into diverse discourses of belonging, David pushes
past the politics of belonging and forces us to acknowledge just
how wide-ranging and fluid notions of belonging can be.
