Political tribes
Group Instinct and the Fate of Nations
Book • 2018
In 'Political Tribes: Group Instinct and the Fate of Nations', Amy Chua argues that loyalty to groups often supersedes ideological affiliations.
The book examines how this phenomenon affects both American foreign policy, particularly in cases like Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq, and domestic politics, including the rise of Donald Trump.
Chua emphasizes that human beings are inherently tribal and that this aspect of human psychology is often overlooked, leading to missteps in policy and social interactions.
The book also discusses the role of tribalism in various social movements and its implications for national unity and global stability.
