Narrative Identity

World Religions

“The dissertation makes a substantial contribution to the field of study. It attempts to show how understandings of identity are moving away from the ‘essentialist’ and ‘constructivist’ impasse to a more relational view of how identity is to be understood. The methodology is clearly set out and there is a good review of literature. Castor has discussed well the different factors involved in the emergence of transnational identity.”
