I Lost My Identity, It is Invalid!

I Have No Flag, No Religion, No Gender!

We hold tightly to our identities. It is our identity that invites us from blood feuds to wars. It is our identity that makes us the target of racists, sycophants and opportunists. It is our identity, "Do you know who I am?" that makes you say

Should we get rid of our identity instead of finding it? We must protect our identity by changing, hiding and lying as much as possible, against increasingly totalitarian states and companies that try to sell us something from every aspect of our lives with the information they store about us. Freedom lies in getting rid of our belongings.

We are busy revealing who we are, from the forms we fill out, our loves, to the strangers we meet on our journey. However, our relationships, the work we do, should be more important than who we are... In our relationships, we ask "Who are you?", "Who are you from?" The less we ask, the more we will be freed from the patterns of order as a society...

Will we allow our national, religious and sexual identities to capture us, or will we be able to get rid of all these and open the doors to becoming "world citizens"? A mind-opening book from Gündüz Vassaf, full of striking questions that prompts people to think about themselves and the world they live in...
