What does it mean to say that we have, or that we seek, an identity? We seem to need to define ourselves as something, to be able to know "who we are." The psychoanalyst Erik Erikson, who coined the famous concept of "identity crisis" half a century ago, suggested that individual identity becomes a problem when the materials from which we normally construct it, parental identifications and cultural beliefs, come into conflict. Sociologists have argued that personal identity is a problem specific to modernity, created by the breakdown of the fixed categories of traditional society.

World War I ushered our age into existence. Its memories still haunt us and its aftershocks shaped the course of the 20th century.
