Social Representations and Identity: Content, Process, and Power

by Gail Moloney (Editor), Iain Walker

Drawing on the non-individualistic perspective of social representations theory, this book presents an alternative view of social identity by articulating the inseparable dynamic relationships that exist between content, process and power relations when social identity is embedded in social knowledge.

[Jordan Brown · Rating 4 out of 5]

A collection of thought-provoking and accessible papers looking at how one's identity is shaped in relation to other individuals and groups. If you don't have time to read the whole thing, I especially recommend the papers on satirical cartoons and refugees, British school children constructing their views on race, and the paper dealing with the contemporary issue of biotechnology.
