This book explores everyday identity change and its role in transforming ethnic, national and religious divisions.

Rezensionen
"It remains unclear how this ethic can apply to politicians whose raison d'être depends on ethnic boundary making and who strike fear rather than safety into both in- and out-group members. In some ways, the question is out with the rationale for the book, but having identified the ways that change can occur, a follow-up might be to explore how change can be cultivated. Todd's book is an indispensable guide to that question and ought to be read by students of identity change." (Cillian McGrattan, Journal of British Studies, May 12, 2020)

"This book is a profound contribution to our knowledge of identity innovation across the island of Ireland and more broadly. It is an excellent example of how ambitious data collection and deep research can develop theories that provide convincing accounts of complex social phenomena and provide the basis for generalisation." (Dawn Walsh, Irish Political Studies, April 11, 2019)

"I can say without hesitation that it is a landmark study. Its theoretical and empricial insights make it required reading not only for those interested in the island of ireland, but for generalist seeking greater understanding of how identities change. ... it is another original and important contribution which iexpect to influence scholars and policy makers for years to come."
