An identity in need of assurance and confirmation -- To be or to forget : politics of remembering versus politics of forgetting -- Identityand the emergence of modern sensibilities : liberty, tradition, anger,and incessant change -- Us and them : nationalism and patriotism revisited -- Fear and loathing in liquid modernity -- Forgetting the ends and then redoubling the efforts : fanaticism -- Nowhere at home -- Makingand unmaking history : identities in ruins.

The book maps what Leonidas Donskis terms the troubled identity, that is, the identity that constantly needs assurance and confirmation. Itis on why and how the search for identity becomes everything for a postmodern person, an identity builder and shifter. Our infatuation with it replaces the former search for the meaning of life, becoming a mode of discourse, self-discovery, self-interpretation, and a perfect chance to reshape ourselves as the other in our country. Identity protects andhurts us. Through an identity-building-and-shifting process, argues Donskis, we can move from political majority to cultural minority, or theother way around.
