Identity: The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment

---

Authored by prominent political scientist Francis Fukuyama, this volume explores the rise of modern identity politics and its disruptive impact on liberal democracies. Fukuyama argues that the human desire for dignity (thymos)—expressed as both isothymia (the demand to be respected as equal) and megalothymia (the quest for superior recognition)—serves as the primary catalyst behind contemporary political polarization, populist movements, and nationalist resurgence worldwide.
