Review

"Neisser and Jopling's edited volume collects an intelligent, sophisticated, and interdisciplinary set of essays on the self written by a distinguished group of psychologists, anthropologists, linguists, and philosophers....there is much here of interest to sociologists of the self. The Conceptual Self in Context covers a lot of ground in its 13 thoughtful and well-written chapters. This book should be read by sociologists interested in the self." Viktor Gecas, Contemporary Sociology
