Social Theory and the Politics of Identity Summary

Social Theory and the Politics of Identity by C Calhoun

New social movements of the post--war era have brought to prominence the idea that identity can be a crucial focus for political struggle. Linked to an increasing recognition that social theory itself must put the politics of identity on center stage, this volume impels social theorists not only to make sense of the world out there, but also to make sense of differences within the discourse of theory.
