The Self We Live By: Narrative Identity in a Postmodern World
"A fascinating attempt to reconcile the 20th-century concept of the social self with postmodernist thinking, this volume makes an important contribution to the literature of both the social sciences and humanities. Following a brief introductory chapter, the authors take the reader on a crisp, condensed historical journey through various conceptions of the self and the theorists most responsible for their development."--B. Ayers-Nachamkin, Wilson College"Well organized. It offers a variety of information on pertinent theorists and theories. Written in a manner that makes it easy for students to understand sociology and its role in everyday life."--Sonya Gantt, Wayne State University"Just the text I was looking for....Looks like a great book."--Penny Green, University of Southern Colorado
