Product Information
This text outlines the challenge presented by key debates on identity to central questions of gender, sexuality, embodiment, health, race and nation. It includes discussion of: the importance of identity and difference in the contemporary world at multiple levels - global, local and personal; the ways in which identities are constructed for and by individuals; notions of the fixity of identity and difference; explanations of identity and difference from essentialist, social constructionist, psychoanalytic, feminist and discursive approaches; and the complexity of contemporary identities through a range of examples including popular discourses of motherhood, ideas of the healthy body and diaspora identities.Product Identifiers
