Identities explores the relationship of racial, ethnic and national identities and power hierarchies within national and global arenas. It examines the collective representations of social, political, economic and cultural boundaries as aspects of processes of domination, struggle and resistance, and it probes the unidentified and unarticulated class structures and gender relations that remain integral to both maintaining and challenging subordination. Identities responds to the paradox of our time: the growth of a global economy and transnational movements of populations produce or perpetuate distinctive cultural practices and differentiated identities. The journal illuminates the relationship between culture and power and transports the field of ethnic studies beyond descriptions of cultural diversity. Identities offers participation in a world wide forum on the relationship between cultural representations and structures of power: * Provides all manuscripts with constructive critiques from a global community of peer reviewers * Welcomes submissions from scholars investigating racial, ethnic, national, and gender identities within political and economic hierarchies * Publishes groundbreaking work from both established and emerging scholars * Advances ethnographic approaches to cultural studies * Reviews significant books and media that explore the relationships between culture and power. Peer Review Policy: All articles have undergone anonymous double-blind review. Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.
Identity is international and multidisciplinary in scope, and this cutting-edge journal provides a forum for identity theorists and researchers around the globe to share their ideas and findings regarding the problems and prospects of human self-definition. The unifying thread of these articles is "identity" in its various manifestations throughout the life course. The operating assumption is that people in many parts of the world are struggling with aspects of their identities and that many of these problems transcend national, political, and cultural boundaries, taking on global proportions.In addition to a focus on substantive theoretical and empirical analyses, Identity also welcomes policy discussions, program recommendations, and evaluation studies. Identity provides a forum in which theoretical analyses find practical applications in dealing with these global problems. Submissions are invited from all fields and from a full range of methodologies so as to provide multiple bridges, across nations and disciplines, between theory and research, and subjectivist and objectivist epistemologies. The intention is to provide a nonpartisan forum within which identity researchers from a variety of areas can communicate their findings and stay apprised of the findings of others, especially among those who use different technical languages.Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.
