Amy Chua

Discusses the failure of America's political elites to recognize how group identities drive politics both at home and abroad, and outlines recommendations for reversing the country's foreign policy failures and overcoming destructive political tribalism at home.

I haven't really read much books this year, but I am confident in my opinion that this is one of the most important books of 2018. We often see conflicts in a simple two dimensional struggle, often neglecting to try to see the actual roots. Although this book focuses in America's tribal politics, but we can use the arguments used in this book with divisive political problems happening all over the world; from Brexit to my own country's political debacle. This is a very good read, and hard slap to the face, for radical left and right of the political spectrum.

'A beautifully written, eminently readable and uniquely important challenge to conventional wisdom' J. D. Vance, author of Hillbilly Elegy 'A page-turner and revelation, Political Tribes will change the way you think' Tim Wu, author of The Attention Merchants In Political Tribes, Amy Chua argues that we must rediscover an identity that transcends the tribalism we see in politics today. Enough false slogans of unity, which are just another form of divisiveness. When people are defined by their differences to each other, extremism becomes the common ground. It is time for a more difficult unity that acknowledges the reality of our group differences and fights the deep rifts that divide us.
