Identity is a cornerstone issue in Sociology and this book examines the topic from the perspective of how our sense of identity allows us to feel that we belong in society, or not as the case may be. It looks as a host of different sites and modes of identity development, from race and sexuality to migration and new media. Each chapter begins with an explanation of classic and contemporary theory on the particular site/mode, then goes on to explore research that's been carried out in this area, linking the two via case studies throughout the chapters.
