Social Identities

TRAMA

"Social Identities "addresses an increasingly important topic in social and political theory. It argues that we have a collection of social selves and that our identities are influenced by such things as class, gender, sexuality, race, nationality, religious views and the media. The book includes contributions from a variety of scholars in the field and aims to provide an undergraduate audience with an accessible introduction to a fascinating subject. "Social Identities "is particularly useful for students studying courses on social identity, sociology, social and political theory and contemporary culture.

NOTE EDITORE

Social Identities: Multidisciplinary Approaches attempts to make sense of the increasingly complex ways in which we define ourselves and others. It recognises that we are not simply individuals, or members of a certain class or a certain nationality. Rather, each of us comprises a rich blend of various identities.The book provides not only an eclectic spectrum of the forms of identity and influences through which identities are formed, but also critical treatment of the theoretical tools used to understand these phenomena.
