Individuality is often interpreted as a force for the separation
and autonomy of the individual. This book takes a different
approach: it explores the expression of individuality as a form of
social action inextricably linked to questions of belonging. Using
case studies from North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia, the
authors examine a wide range of topics. Covering everything from
studies of childhood and family relations to patterns of movement
for tourism, work, and religious pilgrimage; from the spinning of
fashions to the sculpting of life narratives, the contributors
analyse the shifting forms of the cultural politics of distinction.
The book illustrates the variation and ingenuity with which people
in various settings claim diverse forms of individuality, their
motivations for doing so, and the outcomes of their actions.
