Erik H. Erikson
Identity, Erikson writes, is an unfathomable as it is all-pervasive. It deals with a process that is located both in the core of the individual and in the core of the communal culture. As the culture changes, new kinds of identity questions ariseâ€”Erikson comments, for example, on issues of social protest and changing gender roles that were particular to the 1960s.,Representing two decades of groundbreaking work, the essays are not so much a systematic formulation of theory as an evolving report that is both clinical and theoretical. The subjects range from "creative confusion" in two famous livesâ€”the dramatist George Bernard Shaw and the philosopher William Jamesâ€”to the connection between individual struggles and social order. "Race and the Wider Identity" and the controversial "Womanhood and the Inner Space" are included in the collection.
