The Hindu-Muslim riots, which suddenly erupted in the 1940s in India, were led by instigators one both sides. Most of the victims-both Hindus and Muslims-in those riots wee poor labourers of the same class. But nothing other than religious identity was allowed to count in the murderous world of singular classification.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSen argues in his new book that conflict and violence are sustained today, no less than in the past, by the illusion of a unique identity. Indeed, the world is increasingly taken to be divided between religions (or cultures or civilizations), ignoring the relevance of other ways in which people see themselves through class, gender, profession, language, literature, science, music, morals or politics, and denying the real possibilities of reasoned choices. When good relations among different human being are identified in this way, human beings are deeply miniaturized and deposited into little boxes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere Sen overturns such stereotypes as the monolithic Middle East or the Western Mind. Through his penetrating investigation of multiculturalism, fundamentalism, terrorism and globalization, he brings out the need for a clear-headed understanding of human freedom and a constructive public voice in global civil society.
