Identity as a cultural question

Edited by Paul Du Gay, this collection examines why cultural identity has become a compelling yet difficult subject of inquiry. Its contributors approach the question through different dimensions of what the description calls a crisis of identity, combining theoretical discussion with substantive perspectives. The book is framed as an exploration of approaches to understanding identity, rather than a single account or definition. That range makes the volume a point of entry into debates about how identity is understood and why the concept remains contested.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in cultural and social anthropology.
  • Students or general readers seeking theoretical and substantive perspectives on identity.
  • Those exploring debates about cultural identity and its interpretation.
