The volume under review, 'Community and Identities' consists of essays on the meaning and relevance of the concept of community. The book discusses the concepts of community and identity in the context of both political practice and the social sciences. It is representative of the 'shift' in social sciences. As the editor points out, many factors have brought about this shift. Although the editor seeks to underplay it, the influence of western social theory is undeniable as far as the rise in 'popularity' of these concept is concerned.
