Nat
says, that this is a must read for adults interested in national
identity. Amin Maalouf, a well known author, explores the dangers
of identity, and reveals that while recognizing our uniqueness,
we must be wary of those who use outward differences to commit the
most horrid crimes against each 'other'; against humanity. Whereas
'other' is written by Nat for children and adults in simple terms
and straight from the heart, this book by Maalouf, is a historical
piece, a lesson to be read and re-read by an adult audience. Both
books argue that identity can bring great health and much suffering.
Although both bi-cultural authors have written with a different
audience in mind, they have much the same message at heart.
