Connecting Self to Society (eBook, ePUB)

Belonging in a Changing World

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Belonging is often overlooked in its relationship to society and social change, and yet it forms the bedrock of how we relate to the world around us. Through the work of Marx, Giddens and Goffman, this book covers the familiar terrain of identity theory, while going beyond it to other sites of identification and social change.
