Identity Matters: Rhetorics of Difference

by Lillian Bridwell-Bowles

Overlapping Identities: An Alternative Table of Contents.
In the table of contents, we have grouped selections as they appear in the text, in the chapter dealing with their primary focus; however, many of the essays examine more than one identity issue. Thus the table of contents below, organized by the topics of each chapter, lists additional, related selections found elsewhere in the book. For example, if you are writing a long paper on a racial topic, you would want to read the essays in Chapter 2 plus the others listed below as having connections to race. Such a table of contents is necessary because so many of the variables that help us construct our identities are influenced by or interact with others. The number of the chapter where you can find the selection is in parentheses.
