Published in 1998, this book is a multi-disciplinary exploration of
one of the most vital issues in the contemporary world. Never was
this topic more relevant than now, on the threshold of the
twenty-first century. At a time when the global economy, European
citizenship and worldwide religion are the order of the day,
nationalism - as in eastern Europe and the Balkans - and
regionalism - Wales and Scotland provide perfect examples - ride
high on the agenda. It is the problems and paradoxes that emerge
immediately the subject is raised that form the core of this book.
A Question of Identity breaks new ground by drawing together
eminent academics from a variety of disciplines including;
anthropology, history, law, linguistics, politics, psychology and
sociology, to examine the way in which issues of identity have
impacted on society and the way in which changes in society have
resulted in a re-evaluation of identity. Topics covered include,
'Britishness' within the context of devolution; language and
identity; religion, gender and identity; the political and legal
problems of European citizenship; elderly migrants and identity;
and German identity after reunification. The book explores
questions of identity in two sections: British and global. The main
conclusion to be reached is that at any period of history the
question of identity is complex composed of interacting facets
which combine in larger or smaller proportions to create the whole,
be that individual, group, ethnic, religious, national or
supranational. This book sets out to identify some of the facets
that contribute to the whole and by so doing answers some of the
questions which are currently circulating around the question of
identity.
