Primal Screams
Synopsis
Many people in Western society feel unmoored from a strong sense of self, leading them to join ideological groups and react with intense fervor against perceived threats. This book explores how society became so divided, arguing that the rise of identity politics is a direct consequence of the sexual revolution and the decline of the traditional family structure. It posits that the collapse of kinship ties has left generations adrift, seeking solidarity in politicized groups.
