The study of identity crosses all disciplinary borders to address
such issues as the multiple interactions of race, class, and gender
in feminist, lesbian, and gay studies, postcolonialism and
globalization, and the interrelation of nationalism and ethnicity
in ethnic and area studies. "Identities will help disrupt the
cliche-ridden discourse of identity by exploring the formation of
identities and problem of subjectivity.
Leading scholars in literary criticism, anthropology, sociology,
and philosophy explore such topics as "Gypsies" in the Western
imagination, the mobilization of the West in Chinese television,
the lesbian identity and the woman's gaze in fashion photography,
and the regulation of black women's bodies in early 20th-century
urban areas. This collection of twenty articles brings together the
special issue of "Critical Inquiry entitled "Identities" (Summer
1992), two other previously published essays, and five previously
published critical responses and rejoinders, all of which is
interrogated in two new essays by Michael Gorra and Judith Butler.
Contributors include Elizabeth Abel, Kwame Anthony Appiah, Akeel
Bilgrami, Daniel Boyarin, Jonathan Boyarin, Judith Butler, Hazel V.
Carby, Xiaomei Chen, Diana Fuss, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Avery
Gordon, Michael Gorra, Cheryl Herr, Saree S. Makdisi, Walter Benn

Rothenberg, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Sara Suleri, Katie
