About The Book

Cultural Identity in Transition analyses the challenges that globalisation and modernisation have brought to cultural identity in recent years. This collection of articles highlights some of the central theoretical ideas and models currently used in the analysis of cultural identity in the social and cultural sciences. While the book’s main regional focus is on Northern Europe, this is complemented by several case studies addressing issues of cultural identity in indigenous and ethnic communities, in literary and artistic expression, and in terms of national politics around the world. The book discusses in detail the questions like : What is at stake in the global culture industry in terms of cultural identity? How do the internet and information technology in general empower local communities? What kinds of political struggles and conflicts can be associated with the processes of cultural identity? Cultural identities are in transition, but in what direction are they moving? Cultural Identity in Transition will be essential reading for university students and researchers in sociology, anthropology, and cultural and literary studies.
