The crisis of culture : identity politics and the empire of norms


Description


Is our existing concept of culture in crisis, as explicit, normative systems replace implicit, social values? Roy’s book explains today’s fractures via the extension of individual political and sexual freedoms from the 1960s. For Roy, twentieth-century youth culture disconnected traditional political protest from class, region or ethnicity, fashioning an identity premised on repudiation rather than inheritance of shared history or values.
