From the Back Cover

This volume is a study of identity processes and identity dynamics in a post-colonial, multiethnic European context that is constantly changing under the pressures of globalisation, migration movements and integration. The authors represented come from several disciplines: American studies, anthropology, cultural studies, ethnology, history, social psychology and sociology. Eleven of the thirteen chapters present empirical case studies from the Netherlands, Portugal, the Basque country in Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Methods and materials vary from ethnographic observation, conversation analysis to quantitative surveys of attitudes and identities. The introductory chapter presents an overview of recent trends in research on collective identities, and the concluding chapter attempts to structure anthropological, psychological and sociological identity studies.
