About this title

Synopsis

This volume is presented in four sections based on recent research in the field: the sources of identity, the tie between identity and the social structure, the non-cognitive outcomes - such as emotional - of identity processes, and the idea that individuals have multiple identities. This timely work will be of interest to social psychologists in sociology and psychology, behavioral scientists, and political scientists.

Review

From the reviews:

"This volume focuses on the culturally embedded nature of the self, and on the social categories in which persons find themselves and with which they relate themselves to others. a ] the structural symbolic interaction perspective offers many important tools for understanding the socially embedded nature of selves; and this volume offers a nice collection of contemporary articles from this perspective that covers many of the important issues surrounding personhood."
