Aprašymas
How are identities being forged during the age of globalization? This collection of essays, by scholars from various disciplines and regions of the world, discusses both the construction and deconstruction of identity in its engagement with culture, ethnicity, and nationhood. The authors explore the tension resulting from the desire to create a new cultural space for identities that are at once national, regional, linguistic, and religious. Among the wide-ranging approaches, Tanja Stampfl looks at the elusiveness of cultural identity in Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner; Dawn Morais investigates issues of ethnicity and nationality in Malaysia's tourism advertising; and Cathy Waegner explores ethnic identities as globalized market commodities.
Throughout the volume, identity is approached from a variety of sites--fiction, news analysis, film, theme parks, and field work--to contribute new insight and perspective to the well-worn debate over what identity signifies in societies where the existence of minorities, both indigenous and immigrant, challenges the dominant group.
