«This collection of articles is a sociolinguistic response to the
recent explosion of scholarly interest in issues of identity. Identity
is central to all human beings as we are all concerned with how to
conceive of ourselves, present ourselves and comprehend our
relationships with others. The book tackles the problem of how
personal identity is made visible and intelligible to others through
language, and how this may be constrained. Part One, Emblematic
identities, focuses on the construction of self-definitions based on
various forms of group identities, including national and ethnic ones.
Part Two, Multicultural Identities, looks at negotiation of identities
in multicultural contexts involving relations of power, drawing on
examples from Europe and the Americas. Finally, Part Three, Emergent
Identities, collects empirical studies based on a close reading of
texts in which identities are being articulated and negotiated.»
