Description

Steph Lawler examines a range of important debates about identity from a sociological perspective. She argues that identity is produced and negotiated between persons, rather than belonging within the individual. This new edition explores topics such as the relationships between lives and life-stories, kinship in social change, and how taste works to define identity. The book includes a new chapter on identity politics and guides for further reading, reflecting its broad importance and impact. Understanding identity is essential for understanding the social world, making this book a valuable resource for upper-level courses across the social sciences. This sociological introduction provides insight into the complexities of identity and its role in shaping our social world.
