Cosmopolitanism
and Solidarity "This is scholarship of the first order. Hollinger's spirited interventions in contemporary debates ranging from race and multiculturalism to religion and academic freedom are indispensable."–James T. Kloppenberg, Harvard University "Who are we?" is the question
at the core of these fascinating essays from one of the nation's
leading intellectual historians. With old identities increasingly
destabilized throughout the world–the result of demographic
migration, declining empires, and the quickening integration
of the global capitalist economy and its attendant communications
systems–David A. Hollinger argues that the problem of group
solidarity is emerging as one of the central challenges of the
twenty-first century. "This collection confirms that David Hollinger is a fine citizen-scholar as well as one of the premier intellectual historians in the United States. He steers wisely and humanely through the rapids of identity –racial, ethnic, religious, and national–with a worldly tolerance as his guide. It's a brilliant performance that every student of American society–in and out of the academy–should read."–Michael Kazin, Georgetown University David A. Hollinger is the Preston Hotchkis Professor of History at the University of California, Berkeley. He is the author of Postethnic America and Science, Jews, and Secular Culture.
