Political Tribes

Published in 2018, this work examines one of our era's most significant challenges: the power of tribal allegiances. From the aftermath of war in Iraq to the political upheavals in Venezuela under Chavez and the divisions in contemporary America, our political landscape has grown more fractured. The breakdown in mutual understanding, as people withdraw into like-minded groups, sets the stage for inevitable clashes. Amy Chua demonstrates that both international relations and internal governance can reduce these tensions when grounded in a proper grasp of how tribalism functions.
