Lawler - Identity
Lawler, S. (2014). Identity: Sociological Perspectives (2nd ed.) Cambridge: Polity. ISBN: 978-0745654164
This book examines a range of important debates about identity from a sociological perspective. This means that the perception of identity as belonging within the person is challenged, and it is argued that identity is produced and negotiated between persons. The updated edition features a new chapter on identity politics as well as carefully compiled guides for further reading. The author addresses identity-related topics connected to stories and memories, kinship and inheritance, unconscious selves, performing self in social situations, and class identities.
