<p>The concepts of power and identity are vital to many areas of social research. In this edited collection, a prominent set of contributors explore the double relationship between power and group identity, focusing on two complementary lines of enquiry:</p><ul><p></p><li>In what ways can the powerful dictate the identities of the powerless?<p></p><p></p></li><li>How can the powerless redefine their identity to challenge the powerful?<p></p></li></ul><p>Each chapter is written by leading authorities in the field, and investigates a particular aspect of the interplay of identity and power via a range of empirical contexts such as colonialism, nationalism, collective action, and electoral politics.</p><p>The case studies include early modern Goa under Portuguese rule, the tribes of modern-day Jordan, the use of sexual stereotyping and objectification by female activists seeking to transform social systems, and a revisiting of the classic Stanford Prison Experiment. The chapters include contributions from a variety of social disciplines and research methodologies, and together provide a comprehensive overview of a subject at the cutting-edge of social and political psychology.</p><i><p>Power and Identity</i> will be of great interest to researchers, graduates and upper-level undergraduate students from across the social sciences.</p>
