The art of identity

What is identity?

'Ultimately, all identity is a lie. This is because identity is a mask you choose to wear; or it is a mask you choose to see. As such, it appears as a fixed image within an otherwise moving world.'

The Art of Identity was first published in 2000 by Gower Publishing. It has subsequently been translated and published in several languages worldwide.
