It takes the basic concept of semiotics - the sign - as its central notion, and specifies in detail in what ways identity can be seen as a sign, how it functions as a sign, and how signs of identity are related to those who have that identity. Recognizing that the sense of belonging is both the source of solidarity and discrimination, the book argues for the importance of emotional attachment to collective identity. The argument is supported by a large number of real-life examples of how collective emotions affect group formation, collective action and inter-group relations. By addressing the current issues of authenticity and the Self, multiculturalism, intersectionality and social justice, the book helps to stimulate discussion of the contested topics of identity in contemporary society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Ehala\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138280941\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138280946\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.10h x 9.10w x 0.50d","brand":"Martin Ehala","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44077676331263,"sku":"9781138280946","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fb805a80-6124-404f-bdca-5668badeeded.jpg?v=1685471226","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/signs-of-identity-martin-ehala-9781138280946","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
