Identità Assassine Amin Maalouf
“Since I left Lebanon in 1976 to move to France, I have been asked countless times, with the best intentions in the world, if I felt 'more French' or 'more Lebanese'. I invariably answer: "Both!" Not for the sake of balance or fairness, but because, answering differently, I would be lying. What makes me as I am and not different is my existence between two countries, between two or three languages, between several cultural traditions. This is precisely what defines my identity. "
- Plot Identità Assassine Amin Maalouf
Starting from this simple and apparently harmless question, in this book Amin Maalouf questions the very idea of identity we are used to, analyzes the passions it arouses and the dangers it can create if used improperly and not properly understood. With a clear and precise writing, this essay poses and develops important and ever current questions with wisdom and lucidity, with concern and fear but also, and above all, with hope.
This book gives an account of this tireless civil commitment, in its testimony of integrity and republican culture.
