Synopsis
Identity: The Necessity of a Modern Idea is the first comprehensive history of the concept that answers the question, who, or what, am I? Gerald Izenberg contends that our most important identities, while historically conditioned, are rooted in permanent categories of human existence, such as sexuality, sociality, and labor.
