Book Synopsis
Identity matters, but it matters in different ways at different times. Identity is a buzz word that we often hear about in all sorts of contexts, ranging from the concern with the self expressed through therapy, to identity crises that operate on the global arena, especially post 9/11.

Trade Review
Kath Woodward's interest in identity emerges here as a coherent survey of the many elements that have gone into making the concept so central in contemporary sociology. Her experience of writing for the Open University comes through in the accessibility of her explanations and examples. The introduction stands as an essay in its own right...Woodward's approach is a breath of fresh air...so valuable for undergraduate students. Sociology
