Media Reviews
In this intellectually challenging and highly original study, Miri Song mobilizes a wide body of theoretical writing and empirical evidence, originating in both the UK and the U.S. Choosing Ethic Identity presents a new conceptual apparatus for evaluating inequality in societies increasingly confronted by manifold narratives of victimization, Steven J. Gold, Michigan State University Miri Song has written an enormously stimulating and authoritative account of the changing nature of ethnic identity. Drawing judiciously on a wealth of material from both the US and Britain, she is able to show that the assertion of ethnic identity involves a complex set of political and social relations. Songa s account of these issues should be a must for anybody who is concerned with the formation of ethnic and racial identities. John Solomos, Professor of Sociology, City University, London Choosing Ethnic Identity makes an important contribution to a developing literature in the field of race and ethnic studies dealing with the subtleties and complexities of both radicalized and ethicized identities, and the political landscapes in which some versions of identity are erased or marginalized. Tracing the intertwining race of ethnicity in Britain and the United States, Song exposes some of the plasticity of ethnicity as a optionsa in the shaping of lives and subjective and the political tensions surrounding them...Overall, this is a readable and valuable contribution to the theorization of race and ethnicity on both sides of the Atlantic.
