Taylor & Francis Ltd Social Identity
Book SynopsisSocial Identity explains how identification, seen as a social process, works: individually, interactionally and institutionally. Building on the international success of previous editions, this fourth edition offers a concise, comprehensive and readable critical introduction to social science theories of identity for advanced undergraduates and postgraduates. All the chapters have been updated, and extra new material has been added where relevant, integrating the most recent critical publications in the field.As with the earlier editions, the emphasis is on sociology, anthropology and social psychology; on the interplay between relationships of similarity and difference; on interaction; on the categorisation of others as well as self-identification; and on power, institutions and organisations.Written in clear, accessible language, and informed by relevant topical examples throughout, this fully updated new edition will be useful for students intTrade Review"This is a sophisticated yet accessible introduction to the topic of social identity, in all its richness and complexity. Focusing less on what identity is than on how it works, Jenkins shows how identity emerges from the interplay of self-identification and external categorization in a wide range of settings. His is quite simply the best available treatment of this important yet elusive subject." - Professor Rogers Brubaker, Department of Sociology, University of California, Los Angeles"There is a very good reason why this book has been in print for the past two decades. It is by far the best and most comprehensive critical introduction to identity studies. Jenikins is an astute analyst who is capable of making highly complex social phenomena understandable to the non-expert audience. This is a very well-structured and insightful, yet highly accessible text. I have no doubt that this new updated and revised edition will, yet again, prove to be a major success." - Professor Siniša Malešević, University College, Dublin"Jenkins’s book remains the best book there is on the topic of social identity. Over the years I have continued to refer my undergraduate and graduate students to this key work. Unfailingly, they have found it useful and provocative. This book remains as fresh and illuminating as it was when it first came out. A must read." - Michele Lamont, Professor of Sociology and African and African-American Studies, Harvard University Table of Contents1. Identity Matters 2. Similarity and Difference 3.

Taylor & Francis Routledge Handbook of Japanese Culture and
Book SynopsisThe Routledge Handbook of Japanese Culture and Society is an interdisciplinary resource that focuses on contemporary Japan and the social and cultural trends that are important at the beginning of the twenty-first century. This Handbook provides a cutting-edge and comprehensive survey of significant phenomena, institutions, and directions in Japan today, on issues ranging from gender and family, the environment, race and ethnicity, and urban life, to popular culture and electronic media. Written by an international team of Japan experts, the chapters included in the volume form an accessible and fascinating insight into Japanese culture and society. As such, the Handbook will be an invaluable reference tool for anyone interested in all things Japanese. Students, teachers and professionals alike will benefit from the broad ranging discussions, useful links to online resources and suggested reading lists. The Handbook will be of interest across a wide range of disciplines including Japanese Studies, Cultural Studies, Anthropology, Sociology and Asian Studies in general. Trade Review'This is a tremendous book and should jump the queue of all those books on contemporary Japan you have been intending to read. The editors deserve kudos for putting together a stellar group of specialists and our gratitude for making them abandon the usually scholarly trappings. The chapters are written in an accessible and thoughtful style and focus on explaining various aspects of culture and society for nonspecialists. This academic-lite approach is a welcome relief from the usual trudge through a specialists' tome, jettisoning the disciplinary discourse without sacrificing the insights. Lucidly written, this is an ideal book for undergraduate classes as it includes a glossary, bibliography and comprehensive list of relevant websites. Experts will also find this a rewarding collection.' – Jeff Kingston, Director of Asian Studies at Temple University, Japan'Few books offer such a broad and kaleidoscopic view of the complex and contested society that is contemporary Japan. Students and professionals alike may use this as a stand-alone reference text, or as an invitation to explore the increasingly diverse range of Japan-related titles offered by Routledge.' – Joy Hendry, Professor of Social Anthropology and Director of the Europe Japan Research Centre at Oxford Brookes University, UK'This is the first reference work you should pick up if you want an introduction to contemporary Japanese society and culture. Eminent specialists skillfully pinpoint key developments and explain the complex issues that have faced Japan and the Japanese since the end of World War II.' Elise K. Tipton, Honorary Associate Professor of Japanese Studies in the School of Languages and Cultures at the University of Sydney, Australia'An invaluable interdisciplinary compendium of contemporary Japan. This Handbook contains a series of insightful essays dealing with such diverse areas as aging and social welfare, popular music, religion, sport, law, politics and education. The collection is also informed by theoretically sophisticated analysis of subjects that will be of major interest to all scholars of Japanese society.' – Dixon Wong Heung Wah, School of Modern Languages and Cultures, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong"It is good to have such a uniformly excellent collection of short essays that reflects, by and large, today’s mainstream scholarly opinion in Western Japanology on a wide range of social and cultural issues—and, by doing so, also challenges the often simplistic and stereotypical model of a monolithic "Japan, Inc." that was popular just a few decades ago." -- Roy Starrs, University of Otago, in Asia Pacific World (Spring 2012)"An impressive array of scholars contributed to the 22 chapters, which present a plurality of viewpoints from many disciplines. Indeed the strength of this handbook is its breadth of analysis... for students and scholars interested in Japan, this well-researched and insightful handbook constitutes essential reading." - Elise Foxworth, La Trobe University; Asian Studies Review; March 2013 - volume 37, issue 1.Table of ContentsIntroduction Victoria Lyon Bestor, Theodore C.

Taylor & Francis The Routledge Companion to the Philosophy of Race
Book SynopsisFor many decades, race and racism have been common areas of study in departments of sociology, history, political science, English, and anthropology. Much more recently, as the historical concept of race and racial categories have faced significant scientific and political challenges, philosophers have become more interested in these areas. This changing understanding of the ontology of race has invited inquiry from researchers in moral philosophy, metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of science, philosophy of language, and aesthetics.The Routledge Companion to Philosophy of Race offers in one comprehensive volume newly written articles on race from the worldâs leading analytic and continental philosophers. It is, however, accessible to a readership beyond philosophy as well, providing a cohesive reference for a wide student and academic readership. The Companion synthesizes current philosophical understandings of race, providing 37 chapters on the history of philosophy and race as well as how race might be investigated in the usual frameworks of contemporary philosophy. The volume concludes with a section on philosophical approaches to some topics with broad interest outside of philosophy, like colonialism, affirmative action, eugenics, immigration, race and disability, and post-racialism.By clearly explaining and carefully organizing the leading current philosophical thinking on race, this timely collection will help define the subject and bring renewed understanding of race to students and researchers in the humanities, social science, and sciences.Trade Review"This important and timely volume addresses foundational questions concerning the impact of racial ideologies and practices on the development of Western philosophy. These interventions, profound in their ontological, epistemological and political implications, will be of keen interest to philosophers and other scholars working to better grasp the enduring legacies of racism."--Steven Gregory, Columbia University"A timely and telling collection on the philosophy of race in the critical tradition. The volume grapples in the terms of both the European and counter-European philosophical traditions concerning the driving questions of race and racism today. This is a critically valuable study of philosophical canons and disciplinary practices regarding race. A volume that is as productive to think about as it is to teach."--David Theo Goldberg, University of California, IrvineTable of ContentsTable of ContentsIntroductionHistory and the Canon Critical Philosophy of Race and Philosophical Historiography Robert Bernasconi Of Problem Moderns and Excluded Moderns: On the Essential Hybridity of Modernity Oluìfeìòmi TaìiìwoÌ Kant on Race and Transition Frank Kirkland Hegel on Race and Development Frank Kirkland Heidegger’s Shadow: Levinas, Arendt, and the Magician from Messkirch Jonathan Judaken Race-ing the Canon: American Icons, from Thomas Jefferson to Alain Locke Jacoby Carter At the Intersections: Existentialism, Critical Philosophies of Race, and Feminism Kathryn Gines Critical Theory: Adorno, Marcuse, and Angela Davis Arnold Farr Poststructuralism and Race: Giorgio Agamben and Michel Foucault Ladelle McWhorter Alternative Traditions Rights, Race, and the Beginnings of Modern Africana Philosophy Chike Jeffers Africana Thought Lewis Gordon Theorizing Indigeneity, Gender, and Settler Colonialism Kyle Whyte and Shelbi Nahwilet Meissner The History of Racial Theories in China Frank Dikötter Racism in India Ania Loomba Metaphysics and Ontology Analytic Metaphysics: Race and Racial Identity Jorge J.
