A collection of readings that serves as an introduction to how people negotiate identity in the United States today. While individuals stitch together complex identities based on everything from the hobbies they enjoy to the schools they attend, their own identity rarely conforms to the American cultural practice of quickly and routinely identifying people by race, gender and age. By exploring this tension between identity and identification, one can learn to understand how people creatively confront the perks and perils of identity in the United States.
