Description
Identity is a cornerstone issue in Sociology and this book examines the topic from the perspective of how our sense of identity allows us to feel that we belong in society, or not as the case may be. It looks as a host of different sites and modes of identity development, from race and sexuality to migration and new media. Each chapter begins with an explanation of classic and contemporary theory on the particular site/mode, then goes on to explore research that's been carried out in this area, linking the two via case studies throughout the chapters.
Reviews / Votes
With case studies to ground the discussion and clear and accessible language, the authors have produced a lively and engaging introduction to the sociological study of identities and belonging. - Steph Lawler, Reader in Sociology, University of York, UK Having taught social sciences for about 20 years, I have long been looking for a good introduction to concepts of identity and belonging. This new book brings my search to an end. - Catriona Elder, Associate Professor in Sociology, University of Sydney, Australia Given its comprehensive coverage of concepts of identity and belonging, along with "real world" case studies with which to ground these, this is the ideal text to effectively engage students enrolled on a module which focuses on identity and culture in a social world. - Stephen Handsley, De Montfort University, UKMore details
