The Tyranny of Identity is both a personal and highly
interdisciplinary examination of the wide range of factors and
disciplines at play in the formation of identity. It takes a novel
and unique approach to this through use of metaphor, images, poetry
and a wide range of academic sources to provide a holistic approach
to the study of identity. This book uses the concept of Babushka
dolls to show that we all have a series of activities during our
lives that reside in our mind, body, spirit – each influencing
the multiple identities we knowingly or unknowingly possess. This
collage of factors and forces allow us to create an identity. The
layers of identity unfold as the chapters progress and in doing so
the book addresses the manifold ways in which identity intersects
with nationhood, politics, education, the culture wars, family,
religion, gender and contemporary institutions. The Tyranny of
Identity is a wide-ranging, cross-cultural book that integrates and
explores how the issue of identity has become a central issue in
every academic discipline. This book is essential reading to all
students studying identity and all readers seeking a deeper
understanding of this complex topic.
