Through a focus on Europe’s relations with major “Others”—America, Islam, and the Orient—the book analyzes power, boundary-marking, and exclusion processes that generate questions of authenticity, roots, tradition, heritage, race, and ethnicity. It links identity to difference while tracing cultural dynamics across global media landscapes.","SPACES OF IDENTITY  \nWith Germany reunited and Europe no longer divided by the Iron Curtain, where does ‘Europe’ end? Against which Other (besides America) is Europe to be defined, if not against Communism? How is the emergence of a new vision of Japan disrupting cultural dynamics through which Europe, America and the Orient have traditionally understood their mutual relations?  \nThe book has a double focus throughout. At a theoretical level the prime concern is with the question of identity under the conditions of a postmodern geography—specifically with the complex and contradictory nature of cultural identities and with the role of communications technologies in thereconfiguration of contemporary cultural (and often diasporic) identities. These issues are addressed in the context of the contemporary politics of the relations between Europe and its most significant Others—America, Islam and the Orient—against whom Europe’s own identity has been and is now being defined. The key questions have become those of power, boundarymarking and exclusion processes, both nationally and internationally. If identity is crucially about difference, the politics of identity necessarily raises questions of authenticity, of roots, tradition and heritage which, in turn, lead into questions of race and ethnicity.  \nSpaces of Identity is a stimulating account of the complex and contradictory nature of contemporary cultural identities, and important reading for all concerned with the threads from which the pattern of our contemporary identities are being woven.  \nDavid Morley is Reader in Communication Studies at Goldsmiths’ College, London.
