Review
"Composed of essays 'offered to diverse gatherings' over the last decade, this book is a useful retrospective device through which Erikson views some of his constant and evolving interests: the nature of the self's identity; the relationship between identity, biography and history; the structure of liberation. Although Erikson's style is sometimes confusing or awkward and his thought not terribly profound, he has a sense of the ethics of responsibility toward both oneself and others which is as important for personal freedom as it is for the future of the race."
