The concepts of power and identity are vital to many areas of
social research. In this edited collection, a prominent set of
contributors explore the double relationship between power and
group identity, focusing on two complementary lines of enquiry: In
what ways can the powerful dictate the identities of the powerless?
How can the powerless redefine their identity to challenge the
powerful? Each chapter is written by leading authorities in the
field, and investigates a particular aspect of the interplay of
identity and power via a range of empirical contexts such as
colonialism, nationalism, collective action, and electoral
politics. The case studies include early modern Goa under
Portuguese rule, the tribes of modern-day Jordan, the use of sexual
stereotyping and objectification by female activists seeking to
transform social systems, and a revisiting of the classic Stanford
Prison Experiment. The chapters include contributions from a
variety of social disciplines and research methodologies, and
together provide a comprehensive overview of a subject at the
cutting-edge of social and political psychology. Power and Identity
will be of great interest to researchers, graduates and upper-level
undergraduate students from across the social sciences.
