Whom a prime minister or president will not shake hands with is still more noticed than with whom they will. Public identity can afford to be ambiguous about friends, but not about enemies. Rodney Barker examines the available accounts of how enmity functions in the cultivation of identity, how essential or avoidable it is, and what the consequences are for the contemporary world.

Industry Reviews

'...scholars and postgraduate students will find much to ponder in this book, including fascinating insights into the evolution of the public identites of the Labour and Conservative parties since 1989...[a] highly stimulating study.' - Marc Calvini-Lefebvre, Political Studies Review
