Castells - The Power of Identity

Castells, M. (2010). The Power of Identity (2nd Ed.) Chichester: Wiley Blackwell. ISBN: 978-1405196871

This book is the second volume of the author’s The Information Age trilogy, in which Castells deals with the social, political, and cultural dynamics associated with the societal transformation caused by technological change and the globalisation of the economy. Castells presents an account of social, cultural, and political conflict and struggle all over the world related to identity issues. He analyses the importance of cultural, religious, and national identity as sources of meaning for people and its implications for social movements, as well as for the new dynamics of global and local change.
