"In the second edition of this text Richard Jenkins develops his argument that identity is both individual and collective, and should therefore be considered within a unified analytic framework. Using the work of major social theorists, such as Mead, Goffman and Barth, to explore the experience of identity in everyday life, Jenkins considers a range of different issues."--BOOK JACKET.
