We are multiple, fragmented and changing selves who, nevertheless, believe we have unique and consistent identities. Richard Ned Lebow explores what accounts for this contradiction; why identity has become so central in scholarship, media and popular fiction; and the political and ethical consequences of sacrificing the illusion of identity.
