Description:
This book examines notions of "narrative identity" in the political sphere by looking at narrative in practice, and pays particular attention to the assumption that narrative imparts "unity". Whitebrook argues that narrative identity is identity in process, and hence problematic for such political practices as the ascription of identity; the requirement -- for the construction of identity -- that stories are told and listened to puts dominant political voices into question.
