Summary/Abstract: Who am I? Who are we? And why? These are a few of many questions that the authors of the book entitled ‘Identity narratives. Interdisciplinary perspectives’ attempt to address. They speak out of various perspectives, take up a multitude of diverse threads. Only such an multidimensional picture creates a window of opportunity to face the questions (tasks) that concern the following matters: multiculturalism, identity (social, political), collective memory, the city and its entanglements, sociology as a discipline, ethical awareness. In the authors' opinion, the book may be of interest of students of the humanities and social sciences, as well as of readers who even though do not deal with these fields professionally but are interested in the issues of identity and difference.
