History. Politics. Nonfiction. HTML:The bestselling author of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, Yale Law School Professor Amy Chua offers a bold new prescription for reversing our foreign policy failures and overcoming our destructive political tribalism at home
 
/> Humans are tribal.  We need to belong to groups.  In many parts of the world, the group identities that matter most ?? the ones that people will kill and die for ?? are ethnic, religious, sectarian, or clan-based.  But because America tends to see the world in terms of nation-states engaged in great ideological battles ?? Capitalism vs. Communism, Democracy vs. Authoritarianism, the ??Free World? vs. the ??Axis of Evil? ?? we are often spectacularly blind to the power of tribal politics.  Time and again this blindness has undermined American foreign policy. 
 
In the Vietnam War, viewing the conflict through Cold War blinders, we never saw that most of Vietnam??s ??capitalists? were members of the hated Chinese minority. Every pro-free-market move we made helped turn the Vietnamese people against us. In Iraq, we were stunningly dismissive of the hatred between that country??s Sunnis and Shias.  If we want to get our foreign policy right ?? so as to not be perpetually caught off guard and fighting unwinnable wars ?? the United States has to come to grips with political tribalism abroad.
 
Just as Washington??s foreign policy establishment has been blind to the power of tribal politics outside the country, so too have American political elites been oblivious to the group identities that matter most to ordinary Americans ?? and that are tearing the United States apart.  As the stunning rise of Donald Trump laid bare, identity politics have seized both the American left and right in an especially dangerous, racially inflected way.  In America today, every group feels threatened: whites and blacks, Latinos and Asians, men and women, liberals and conservatives, and so on. There is a pervasive sense of collective persecution and discrimination.  On the left, this has given rise to increasingly radical and exclusionary rhetoric of privilege and cultural appropriation. On the right, it has fueled a disturbing rise in xenophobia and white nationalism.
 
In characteristically persuasive style, Amy Chua argues that America must rediscover a national identity that transcends our political tribes.  Enough false slogans of unity, which are just another form of divisiveness. It is time for a more difficult unity that acknowledges the reality of group difference… (mais)

There was plenty of the predictable stuff in here about the Trump insanity, fake news and all that, but there was also some enlightening discourse on the antics of the far left. Chua explains how humans are built to fall into the trap of tribalism and shows that we must always be on our guard against it, in ourselves most importantly. ( )

Very fine book. Lots of good examples about “tribalism” in other countries, totally ignored or misunderstood by American policy makers. Then very good discussion of racism and tribalism within the US.

I’m sad that the very useful term “tribalism” comes off as a slur against various indigenous people who may be described (or describe themselves) as tribal. But I don’t know a better word for the phenomenon. ( )

The part dissecting how we didn't consider all the factors in previous wars seemed to go on and on and likely won't be that useful for the average person. But, as a whole, it was informative. ( )

An insightful look at a massive blindspot in American political analysis and policy: tribalism, and how that lack of awareness of, and appreciation for the power of, tribalism has directly lead to military and political debacles in places such as Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and El Salvador, and which aided and abetted the rise of Trump as not just a political, but also a cultural, force of dystopian chaos in America itself. The whirlwind of Trumpian divisiveness and dysfunction has fully exposed and exploited the tribalism that has always been present in America, but what comes after? A healing, or further fracture? ( )

This is a book which gives a reality check on United State politics in the second decade of the 21st century. Group identity and identity politics have come to the fore and Amy Chua describes this pretty well. Unraveling ethnicities in Afghanistan and Pakistan with Daris, Pashtuns, and Punjabis disentangled and the presence of the Chinese minority highly resented by the Vietnamese majority in Vietnam. ( )
