"Life in America: Identity and Everyday Experience" is a
fascinating collection of readings that explores how people
negotiate identity in the United States today. While individuals
stitch together complex identities based on everything from the
hobbies they enjoy to the neighborhoods in which they live, these
identities rarely conform to the quick and routine identification
of people by race, gender, and age. By exploring this tension
between identity and identification, one can begin to understand
how people creatively confront the perks and perils of identity in
the United States.
"Life in America "offers a look at a wide range of subjects
including: violence and video games, queer pilgrimages to San
Francisco, Filipina critiques of "sleeping around," and the
significance of "lowriders" in Hispano/Chicano culture. Framed by a
lively introduction, this book provides readers with a thoroughly
engaging and fascinating look at central issues of identity and
what it means to be American.
