What groups do you identify with and why does it matter? David Berreby, who has written articles for the New York Times, Discover and other publications, ambitiously tackles the concept of group identity in Us and Them: Understanding Your Tribal Mind. Berreby discusses how the labels used to define groups, or "human kinds", affect our lives and opportunities (p.15). He explains how our membership in these groups can change our thoughts, alter our health and affect society as a whole.
