| 520 | 1 | |a "In this book, Natan Sharansky takes on those who see identity as a foe of freedom. He explains why identity is freedom's greatest ally in the struggle against tyranny." "For Sharansky, the free world's shield is its own identity. vigorously asserted and framed by a commitment to democratic life. Not all cultures are the same. Not all values are equivalent. Democracy and freedom are worth fighting for, and, if necessary, worth dying for. As Sharansky writes: The enemy's will is strong because his identity is strong. And we must match his strength of purpose with strong identities of our own." "With the moral clarity, analytical precision, and light-hearted wit that are his trademarks, Sharansky draws on his unique experience to offer an unapologetic defense of the power of identity. He asserts that when framed by democracy, strong identities enrich our lives and enable us to defend the values we most deeply cherish."--BOOK JACKET | |
