Who is better prepared to confront challenges and defend
principles in a volatile modern world? Those with strong
national, religious, ethnic, or tribal identities who
accept democracy, or democrats who renounce identity as a
kind of divisive prejudice?
Natan Sharansky, building on his personal experience as a
dissident, argues that valueless cosmopolitanism, even in
democracies, is dangerous. Better to have hostile
identities framed by democracy than democrats indifferent
to identity. In a vigorous, insightful challenge to the left and right
alike, Natan Sharansky, as he has proved repeatedly, is at
the leading edge of the issues that frame our times.
