"For centuries conquerors, missionaries, and political movements acting in the name
of a single god, nation, or race have sought to remake human identities. Tracing the
rise of exclusive forms of identity over the past 1500 years, this innovative book
explores both the creation and destruction of exclusive identities, including those
based on nationalism and monotheistic religion. Benjamin Lieberman focuses on two
critical phases of world history: the age of holy war and conversion, and the age
of nationalism and racism. His cases include the rise of Islam, the expansion of medieval
Christianity, Spanish conquests in the Americas, Muslim expansion in India, settler
expansion in North America, nationalist cleansing in modern Europe and Asia, and Nazi
Germany's efforts to build a racial empire. He convincingly shows that efforts to
transplant and expand new identities have paradoxically generated long periods of
both stability and explosive violence that remade the human landscape around the world"--Publisher's
