Why is 'identity' important - in people's lives and in the social
sciences? How much control do we have over shaping our own
identities? Are we more uncertain about our identities now than in
the past? Questioning Identity: Gender, Class, Ethnicity provides
an accessible exploration of identity as a contemporary concern in
everyday life and as a key concept in the social sciences. The
world in the twenty-first century may be an increasingly unstable
place, but changes offer new opportunities as well as new
challenges. key social divisions of gender, class, 'race' and
ethnicity, this book shows how these challenges and opportunities
work out in people's lives. What is happening when people identify
with particular definitions of themselves or strike out and forge
new identities? Do gender, class and ethnicity offer some stability
and even security about who we are, or are these structures
constraints on our freedom to choose our own identities? How far is
it possible to forge new identities in changing times? This key
text will be essential reading for students starting out in the
social sciences and for anyone with an interest in the dilemmas of
identity in contemporary society.
