Endorsements
This book is concerned with exploring identity beyond something that an agent 'possesses'; instead, identity is interrogated as a complex, contingent and often problematic category in social relations. In an era of backlash and examination of 'identity politics', this edited collection turns the focus around to the 'politics of identity', exploring how identity can be constituted, and the ways in which it is constituted and contested, multiple and contradictory. Devised around themes of identity constitution and construction, fragmentation and contestation, it provides an interdisciplinary exploration of the multiple ways in which identity can be theorized and the complexities and contradictions that emerge in identity practices. The book contributes a unique interdisciplinary examination of timely case studies from Latin America, Europe, South-East Asia, Asia-Pacific, Eurasia, and the Middle East. These case studies explore emerging and problematic identity practices and policies that have significant political, social, cultural and economic impact on actors in relation to gender and sexuality, place and space, belonging and inclusion, migration and citizenship, and security and foreign policy. These are explored through a range of approaches from international relations, sociology, citizenship studies, social psychology, memory studies, narrative theory and assemblage theory that critically analyse questions of power, subjectivity, hierarchy and resistance and brings together different disciplines and perspectives. This combination showcases in particular the political implications of identity, how it is constituted, and the effects it produces. This edited collection will be of particular interest to students of international relations theory, migration studies, gender and sexuality, postcolonialism and policy-making at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
