Summary:

"Social Identities "addresses an increasingly important topic in social and political theory. It argues that we have a collection of social selves and that our identities are influenced by such things as class, gender, sexuality, race, nationality, religious views and the media. The book includes contributions from a variety of scholars in the field and aims to provide an undergraduate audience with an accessible introduction to a fascinating subject. "Social Identities "is particularly useful for students studying courses on social identity, sociology, social and political theory and contemporary culture.
