Social Identity provides a clearly written and accessible introduction to sociological and social anthropological approaches to identity.

Looking at the work of Mead, Goffman and Barth, Richard Jenkins makes clear their relevance to everyday life. Insisting that reflexive social identity is not a modern phenomenon, he argues that individual and collective identity can both be understood using the same model of "internal" and "external" processes. The book provides an essential guide to the concept of social identity, offering critical disucssions of Schutz, Berger and Luckmann, Becker, Anthony Cohen, Giddens, Bourdieu and many others.

社会认同》对社会学和社会人类学的认同方法作了清晰的介绍。

纵观米德、戈夫曼和巴特的作品，理查德-詹金斯明确指出它们与日常生活的关系。他坚持认为反思性的社会身份不是一种现代现象，他认为个人和集体身份都可以用同样的 "内部 "和 "外部 "过程模式来理解。本书为社会认同的概念提供了一个重要的指南，对舒茨、伯杰和勒克曼、贝克尔、安东尼-科恩、吉登斯、布迪厄和其他许多人进行了批判性的阐述。
