“I don't see tribalism ever really disappearing entirely. I just think that people are almost hardwired to identify as groups. And that sort of group identity always runs the risk of being chauvinistic.” PeopleThinkingRunningRiskIdentityDisappear Author:Franklin Foer
“Is Islam a tribe or is it a force of globalization? Islam has certainly been studied as a local, tribalistic phenomenon. But Islam is also theoretically a universalist idea, its spread has been facilitated by modern technologies, and it's an identity that people can slip into and out of fairly easily. I don't think Islam has really been understood as a product of globalization. It might be one of these instances where globalism and tribalism ultimately go hand in hand.” PeopleThinkingTechnologyModernIdentityIslamSpreadPhenomenonGlobalizationModern Technology Author:Franklin Foer
