About This Text

Author: Jonathan Sacks
The Home We Build Together: Recreating Society is a 21st-century work by Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks on the future of British society and the dangers facing liberal democracy. Arguing that global communications have fragmented national cultures and that multiculturalism, intended to reduce social frictions, is instead reinforcing them, Sacks advocates for a new approach to national identity based on the common good and shared interests among conflicting groups. The work promotes the concept of a responsibility – rather than rights – based model of citizenship.
