Grammars of Identity / Alterity A Structural Approach

A short review cannot do justice to the richness of this, or to the problems posed by its analytical framework - This is a thought-provoking, problematic even troubling volume with many excellent chapters.A" * The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute "This book's strength is two-fold. First, as an edited volume it was delightfully cohesive, with each author considering the same set of basic questions, and utilizing the three grammars as a frame for examining identity in their various contexts...The second core strength for me is the fluid treatment of both structural and agentic aspects of identity...I found this a stimulating volume and think it has much to offer for readers interested in better understanding identity processes." * Anthropology and Education Quarterly
