As the world bears witness to the terror and warfare provoked by
people's sense of who they are, how they are regarded, and what
they deserve, we have entered into the 'age of identity.' Erik
Erikson (1902-1994) was the prophet of this new age. His lifetime
of clinical and interdisciplinary work on human development focused
on the formation and maintenance of identity among people of
diverse backgrounds: black, white, and Native American; rich,
middle class, and poor; male and female. In this volume scholars
from various disciplines, some who knew, worked with, and became
good friends of Erikson, discuss and assess his legacy, and
investigate the challenges that identity brings to the contemporary
world. Contributions to this volume frame the challenge identity
poses to contemporary scholarship through Erikson's own work,
research in empirical and clinical psychology, individual and
rational choice theories, Marxism, democratic theories of political
participation, fundamentalism, and globalization . Through the
book's truly trans-disciplinary scope, Erikson and his scholarship
beg to be revisited by psychologists, sociologists,
anthropologists, and students of interdisciplinary social sciences
and humanities.
