Perhaps most importantly it provides a thoughtful and wide ranging perspective on the concepts of self and identity. These ideas are then used as a framework within which to understand a series of important aspects of modern society, ranging from the problems of minority and majority groups in diverse societies to the roots of collective identity and collective action. This book will be of interest to a broad audience including both social psychologists and those concerned with a wide variety of current and emerging social issues.
