O homem da sociedade moderna tinha uma identidade bem definida e localizada no mundo social e cultural. No entanto, uma mudança estrutural está fragmentando e deslocando as identidades culturais de classe, de sexualidade, de etnia, de raça e de nacionalidade. As velhas identidades, que por tanto tempo estabilizaram o mundo social, estão em declínio. Se antes elas eram sólidas localizações, nas quais os indivíduos se encaixavam socialmente, hoje se encontram com fronteiras menos definidas, o que provoca no indivíduo uma “crise de identidade”.

O propósito deste livro é, portanto, explorar algumas das questões sobre a identidade cultural na modernidade tardia e avaliar se existe mesmo essa “crise de identidade”, em que ela consiste e em que direção está indo. Ao desenvolver seus argumentos, Stuart Hall introduz certas complexidades e examina alguns aspectos contraditórios que a noção de “descentração” do sujeito, em sua forma mais simplificada, desconsidera.

This is an academic (but very readable) look at the act of doing and being diversity in an institutional context. The foundation of Ahmed's book is a series of interviews with diversity professionals at universities in the UK and Australia, as well as her personal experience as a woman of color in the institutions where she's worked. Ahmed doesn't give the reader any easy steps to take, but instead brings us a clear look at how institutions work and what that means for the people or groups who are trying to change an institutional culture that reproduces and favors whiteness.

Much of what she talks about reflects concerns and experiences I've heard from friends and colleagues of color. Other topics shone a light on things I'd never thought about, but that I recognized as an obvious part of the institutional foundations I've experienced. Ahmed's narrative includes looking at the language we use to describe this work (including why "diversity" is such a beloved term), how whiteness as the norm impacts workers and students of color, what actually goes on in committee meetings, the way an institution can be personified, how documents can help and hinder communication, and she ultimately explores some philosophical approaches to thinking through these efforts in a fresh way.

Although there are aspects of the interviews and assertions that are unique to a UK context, most of what Ahmed discusses is just as applicable to institutions in the United States. And while her philosophy and academic background can sometimes make this a dense book, her clear writing style makes it an easy read (and one that made me want to underline every spot-on sentence). I'd really recommend this book for anyone interested in picking apart the successes and failures of institutional diversity efforts (particularly in higher education).
