Abstract:

This collection provides a kaleidoscopic view of a range of identity struggles
in the workplace context. It features twenty-two case studies that present an
eclectic mix of workplaces in different socio-cultural contexts. They include,
among others, household workers in Peru and Hong Kong, female professionals in
India and the UK, social workers in Botswana and on Canadian reserves, tourist
guides in Europe and construction workers in New Zealand. The volume addresses
important questions on professional competence, group membership, (sometimes
competing) expectations, and identity boundaries. The chapters establish that
identity struggles are a reflection of issues of knowledge, competing norms
and attempts for social change.
