A call to live together

Amin Maalouf explores the concept of identity and its apparent violence which denies multiple identities, those who are frustrated with the inner self, those that make minorities do not feel accepted, especially, religious identities, theaters fundamentalism. It attacks the prejudices concerning Islam by adopting a historical perspective and renews the hope of a land of peace where all identities can live together freely and healthily.

Author skilful, his research is impeccable and his ideas of a large humanism. Between humanism and experiences of identities, those that bind me to each other but are all together I'm unique, this book is more than a message of tolerance: it is a call to live together .
