Perpetual War: Cosmopolitanism from the Viewpoint of Violence

Exploring the concept of "new cosmopolitanism," the author reflects on two decades of engagement with cultural interactions and multiple identities. In the context of ongoing U.S. warfare, Robbins examines the responsibilities of American intellectuals, arguing that the nation's waning power may lead to scapegoating other countries. His insights challenge readers to reconsider their roles in a world marked by conflict and the complexities of belonging.
