文档介绍：SOCIAL IDENTITY
The third edition of Social Identity builds on the international ess of
previous editions, offering an easy access critical introduction to social
science theories of identity, for advanced undergraduates and postgraduates.
All of the previous chapters have been updated and extra material has
been added where relevant, for example on globalisation. Two new chapters
have also been added; one addresses the debate about whether identity
matters, discussing, for example, Brubaker; the second reviews the
postmodern approach to identity.
The text is informed by relevant topical examples throughout and,
as with earlier editions, the emphasis is on sociology, anthropology and
social psychology; on the interplay between relationships of similarity
and difference; on interaction; on the categorisation of others as well as
self-identification; and on power, institutions anisations.
