Ohio University Press Twins Talk What Twins Tell Us about Person Self
Book SynopsisTwins Talk is an ethnographic study of identical twins in the United States, a study unique in that it considers what twins have to say about themselves, instead of what researchers have written about them.Trade Review“Twins as well as students of anthropology, sociology, and psychology will enjoy this study that differs from others in its blend of personal experiences and scholarship.” * Library Journal *“Davis’s affective, autoethnographic proximity to her interviewees is at once an engaging and revealing feature of this book. … Twins Talk is an invaluable record of a particularly voluble minority of festival-going twins who are willing, eager, and capable of presenting themselves as talking twins, sympathetic to their biographies being raised to anthropological significance.” * American Anthropologist *“Twins Talk … is a valuable and much needed contribution to scholarly work on twins. It suggests intriguing new directions for anthropological research on a topic that has been predominantly explored from biomedical and psychological perspectives. … With this book, Davis gives a compelling demonstration of the value of studying twins as twins, and shows that twins’ life stories—not just their genomes—are rich with meaning and worthy of analysis.” * Medical Anthropology Quarterly *“Dona Lee Davis adds the perspective of identical twins to the domain of ‘twins research,’ which is mostly research on twins. In her book, she presents the voices of twins, with their always interesting, often entertaining, and at times upsetting stories, views, and accounts of their lives alone and with each other.”“Dona Lee Davis, an established anthropologist and identical twin, offers an insightful critical and cultural analysis of twin research and twinship while highlighting what twins tell us about our ‘selves.’ Most importantly the voices of twins are heard loud and clear.”

Essential reading Trade Review"This book convincingly shows how the study of groups, particularly the interface of inter-group and intra-group processes, implicates such cognitive and intra-personal foci as attitudes, prejudice, and social cognition. At last we have an integrated volume which returns social phenomena to the intersect of personal and inter-personal processes. This is, or should be, the essence of social psychology, and this volume articulately reminds us that we and our social context (not our cognitive processes alone) determine our behaviour."—Martin Kaplan, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of California Table of ContentsSeries Editors’ Preface vii Preface ix 1 Shared Cognition in Small Groups 1 R.
