The reinvention of identity in today's world

Trade Review
"A provocative, original, and thoughtful writer, someone who addresses topics that are central to our culture from a fresh vantage point, and someone who is willing to challenge orthodoxies-right, left, and center-which prevent theorists of other stripes from seeing what's in front of their eyes." -Henry Jenkins, author of Convergence Culture
