Cultivating Political and Public Identity
Why Plumage Matters
«
‘This book is original, unexpected, witty, erudite, yet uncannily topical. Reinvigorated by social media, issues of identity are among the most pressing of contemporary problems. Barker's book – covering clothes and theology, democratic theory and leaders, power and associations – is a vivid contribution to understanding what makes us what we are now.’

'Rodney Barker shows that a theoretical investigation of identity need not be opaque and complicated. His analysis goes beyond economics and politics to include religion, language, music, satire, architecture, transportation and food, making a significant contribution to understanding “why plumage matters". A fascinating and erudite study.'
Jonathan Mercer, Professor of Political Science, University of Washington
