Societies across the Western world are being roiled by the unforeseen force of identity politics. From nations to individuals, “Who am I?” has become the most potent question of our time. Drawing from disparate sources including anthropology, sociology, popular culture, and research into animal behavior, this speech advances a new theory about the origins of today's frantic search for identity. It connects the growing obsession with self to the post-1960s fraying of familial ties, and makes the case that the increasingly emotive flight to collective identities is an unforeseen consequence of the sexual revolution.
Mary Eberstadt is a Senior Research Fellow at the Faith and Reason Institute in Washington, D.C., and author of the new book Primal Screams: How the Sexual Revolution Created Identity Politics ([link removed]) . Her other books include It’s Dangerous to Believe ([link removed]) , How the West Really Lost God ([link removed]) , and Adam and Eve After the Pill
